How to record command line #CLI sessions and view them later?

How can I explain what exactly I'm doing to accomplish X on the command line to my colleagues, e.g. to my holiday replacement? I don't like the idea of making clumsy videos, without a chance to copy & paste text out of it.

I know, there's 'script' , but script doesn't handle TUIs well.

Solution: #asciinema: Record with `ascinema rec` and replay with `ascinema play`, optionally upload to asciinema.org similar to Youtube.

Beautiful #Asciiart can be published this way was well, have a look:

Cool. Article by @lwn

"The asciinema project provides a set of tools to [...] let users record, edit, and share terminal sessions in a text-based format that has quite a few advantages compared to making and sharing videos of terminal sessions. For example, it is easy to use, offers the ability to search text from recorded sessions, and allows users to copy and paste directly from the recording.""

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] also one can record and stream it online as well and with #OBS it's easy to pre-configure and set different scenes so it's just one singke key press to switch to a specific scene - incl. transitions if desired... - OBS is propably the best thing re: #Multicam - #Streaming & #Recording with the ability to also utilize multiple screens effectively.
