2. Load the contents that you want to record.
3. Open the QuickTime Player app. Select File > New Screen Recording. Make sure the 'Show mouse clicks in recording' is selected.

Commit Analyzer

This repository contains a commit analyzer that runs against each file in the repository validating that the following are true:

• File's JSON front-matter parses correctly and contains the required fields (title, date, autor)
• File's markdown successfully parses
• All relative files (images and other markdown files) are valid links

To run this check locally, cd into the root of this project and run:

node lib/index.js

Note that the first time you wish to run the commit analyzer, you'll have to run npm install from the lib directory. This assumes you have Node.js installed.

The output will tell you if any file fails parsing. This script is also run as part of continuous integration with travis-ci.
