About ttygif
ttygif turns a ttyrec recording into a GIF by capturing frames from terminal playback. It is intended for recordings created with ttyrec, and the README gives setup instructions for several Linux distributions and macOS.
The tool relies on ImageMagick and other system utilities. Its README notes that macOS users may need an option to bypass cropping for terminal applications that are not full screen.
