A shell script to record GIFs from your Android devices
A picture is worth 1,000 words - and, when prototyping animations, recording visual glitches, etc, a video is worth far more. This script makes it easy to capture and share subtle app behavior by producing ready-to-paste-in-Slack GIFs with a single command.
gifcap your_file_name.gif
<CTRL+C to stop recording>
Note: you'll need an actual Android device plugged in - emulators don't generally have screenrecord built in.
Ensure adb, ffmpeg, and ffprobe are on your $PATH. Also make sure that your console window is
capable of executing bash.
On OS X, you can install the latter two via Homebrew: brew install ffmpeg
Copy gifcap and place it somewhere on your $PATH.
