The Linux script command.

Linux has a built in command called script. Invoking it generates a file that effectivly records everything which is subsequently typed into and/or displayed in the terminal until such time ctrl d is pressed. Doing so ends and saves the session. Play back in the terminal is as simple as invoking another command together with the path to the saved file.

script --help Make a typescript of a terminal session. Options: -a, --append append the output -c, --command <command> run command rather than interactive shell -e, --return return exit code of the child process -f, --flush run flush after each write --force use output file even when it is a link -o, --output-limit <size> terminate if output files exceed size -q, --quiet be quiet -t[<file>], --timing[=<file>] output timing data to stderr or to FILE -h, --help display this help -V, --version display version 

Simply entering...

$ script --t=script_log -q scriptfile 

...will invoke script and recording of the terminal session.

To play back the session it's...

scriptreplay --timing=script_log scriptfile 

More details for reference here. Could be good to include in a repo as a means to demonstrate functionality of a CLI. More typical I suppose would be to screen record a recorded demo...

URL Scraper and site map builder.

I have coded a CLI scraper and site map builder. A first for me. Enjoying the process and learning. Got to a point of mostly tweaking. Time to move on. Good enough will do. Here's the repo on GitHub.
