Hi Maxime,
As Trevor mentions, shellther uses the script command under the hood to do most
of the work (thus, it doesn't work under windows).
Every few seconds, shellther takes the typescript file produced by the script
command and sends it to an etherpad (instead of a github repo).
Shellther has two modes: "dedicated" or "section":
- In dedicated mode, it assumes that the given etherpad is used exclusively
for the output of this session, so it replaces the whole content of the pad
with the content of the typescript file.
- In section mode, it assumes that the terminal session is only part of the
given etherpad, so it inserts section markers ("-----random-marker----") and
places the content of the typescript file between these markers.
I agree in that we shouldn't be duplicating efforts -- I'm not sure what would
be the best approach to make either of these tools part of the 'standard' tools
that all SWC instructors use.
Cheers,
Carlos

Carlos' package looks like it's also using ‘script’ for the
pseudo-terminal gymnastics [1]. Perhaps links from somewhere under
the SWC umbrella to tools like this would help avoid duplicated
effort? I'm not sure where those links would live though…
Cheers,
