RecDev

Follow these simple steps to start recording your coding sessions

Install "RecDev - Code Screencast" extension for your preferred editor:

2. Login with GitHub

Open the Command Palette and authenticate with your GitHub account:

3. Configure .recordignore (Optional)

RecDev automatically skips large files (>2MB) and common folders like node_modules, .git, .next, out, and dist. You can create a .recordignore file to exclude additional files:
