  "github_readme_excerpt": "## gifcap\n\nA shell script to record GIFs from your Android devices\n\nA picture is worth 1,000 words - and, when prototyping animations, recording visual glitches, etc, a video is\nworth far more.  This script makes it easy to capture and share subtle app behavior by producing ready-to-paste-in-Slack\nGIFs with a single command.\n\n\u003cdiv align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"web/example.gif\" alt=\"An animated GIF showing an Android app opening\" /\u003e\n  \u003cbr /\u003e\n  \u003cem\u003eExample output\u003c/em\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\n### Usage\n\n```bash\ngifcap your_file_name.gif\n\u003cCTRL+C to stop recording\u003e\n```\n\nNote: you\u0027ll need an actual Android device plugged in - emulators don\u0027t generally have `screenrecord` built in.\n\n### Install\n\n#### macOS\n\n```bash\nbrew install gifcap\n```\n\nNote that we assume you have `adb` on your path.  If you don\u0027t have an Android SDK, and want Homebrew to set it up for you:\n\n```bash\nbrew install gifcap --with-android-sdk\n```\n\n#### Others\n\nEnsure `adb`, `ffmpeg`, and `ffprobe` are on your $PATH.  Also make sure that your console window is\ncapable of executing `bash`.\n\nCopy `gifcap` and place it somewhere on your $PATH.\n\n-------\n\nCopyright \u00a9 Microsoft Corporation\n\n",
