Hi !
This looks like a great tool, but I just met an issue, and I'm not able to find anything in the history.

So here it is : https://asciinema.org/a/7767. As you can see there is an error :

bash: parse_git_branch: command not found

So it is for sure connected to this line in my .bash_profile :

#Color branches
parse_git_branch() {
  git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* \(.*\)/ \[\1\]/'
}

PS1='\t:\[\033[0;32m\]\u\[\033[0m\]@\[\033[01;31m\]\w\[\033[1;35m\]$(parse_git_branch)\[\033[00m\] \$ '

Any hint would be appreciated.

Thanks

asciinema doesn't start login shell, it starts regular interactive shell by running /bin/bash. You can either:

move this function to .bashrc or,
record with asciinema rec -c "/bin/bash -l" or,
add the following setting to your ~/.asciinema/config file:

[record]
command="/bin/bash -l"
