Usage

Basic Usage

To use the dashcam CLI, call dashcam in your terminal!

dashcam

This will prompt Dashcam to create a clip and show the trimming window.

The Replayable CLI will hang until a clip is published. Once you publish the clip, the resulting URL will be output to your CLI:

https://dashcam.io/replay/123?share=xyz

You must publish a replay within 30 seconds or the CLI will exit with a failure.

Options

You can supply some advanced options to configure the title, description, and format of your future replay.

The command below will return a markdown link for the published replay.

dashcam --md

[![Dashcam - New Replay](https://replayable-api-production.herokuapp.com/replay/123/gif?shareKey=xyz)](https://replayable.io/replay/123?share=xyz)

Watch [Dashcam - New Replay](https://replayable.io/replay/123?share=xyz) on Dashcam

See below for a full list of options.

Usage: dashcam [options]

Create a replay and output the resulting url or markdown. Will launch desktop app for local editing before publishing.

Options:
  -t, --title <string>      Title of the replay. Automatically generated if not supplied.
  -d, --description [text]  Replay markdown body. This may also be piped in: `cat README.md | dashcam create`
  --md                      Returns code for a rich markdown image link.
  -h, --help                display help for command
