I have struggled when student asked me to provided them all the commands I ran in terminal (mostly MySQL queries).

I recently came across a very nice tool to record terminal sessions in ubuntu. The name of the tool is asciinema:

1. Install it using

apt install asciinema

1. Record session by issuing

asciinema rec

1. When done press Ctrl+D, it will prompt you to save the file
2. To play the recorded file use

asciinema play filename

1. plenty of usage options i am yet to explore
