# It's Done!  Just share the video with your teammates, Have fun!

If you just wanna watch the video, run these commands :

brew install gource
cd your_repo_dir
gource

cool

nice

COOL..

sweet

Cool!

The old avconv command may be substituted by ffmpeg, parameters are the same.

How to use this? I get a lot of errors, with unknown commands etc..

Thanks, this is really useful. However, the generated video doesn't fit into the window. It only shows the upper left quadrant. The gource command renders the video correctly, but when I play the file back, it's like it didn't pay attention to the resolution settings. Any ideas?
