🎬 Asciinema Integration

Pastefy supports Asciinema recordings, making it easy to share terminal sessions with your friends, colleagues, or publicly. This feature is perfect for tutorials, demonstrations, or saving a terminal workflow for later.

What is Asciinema?

Asciinema is an open-source tool for recording terminal sessions and sharing them online. Unlike screen recordings, Asciinema stores the session as text and commands, allowing others to play it back interactively.

• Upload .cast files directly.
• Share them via a unique Pastefy link.
• Authenticate via your Pastefy account for private or public recordings.
