VHS lets you write terminal recordings as code, perfect for creating demo GIFs and integration tests for CLI tools. Define exactly what happens frame-by-frame using a tape DSL, then render to GIF, MP4, or WebM. It comes with recording mode to capture real sessions and an SSH server for remote access.
