My Workflow
So I had this idea of turning code blocks within markdown files into gifs. That's what this Github Action does :D!
Introducing action
Turns this
#Here we go!
npm i -g @org/awesome-project
into this
Usage
There are actually two actions working here.
1) asccicast parses a mardown file and produces description files that helps to traverse its content.
2) asciicast2gif use json files produced by asccicast and turn them into GIF files. this action also accepts JSON files from asciinema.org
Here's a online demo

file_pattern: ".asciicast/*.gif *.md"
My recomended workflow is to keep a markdown template ( the one containing the code fences ) e.g README.template.md
so the final process results in a modified version of that file > README.md
. Keeping both files in the repository will guarantee consistency and prevent any content missmatch.
