## gifcap
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.
Example output
### Usage
```bash
gifcap your_file_name.gif
```
Note: you'll need an actual Android device plugged in - emulators don't generally have `screenrecord` built in.
### Install
#### macOS
```bash
brew install gifcap
```
Note that we assume you have `adb` on your path. If you don't have an Android SDK, and want Homebrew to set it up for you:
```bash
brew install gifcap --with-android-sdk
```
#### Others
Ensure `adb`, `ffmpeg`, and `ffprobe` are on your $PATH. Also make sure that your console window is
capable of executing `bash`.
Copy `gifcap` and place it somewhere on your $PATH.
