Once you've created the animated GIF, you can embed it in your README.md file like you would a regular image. Please comment below if you can recommend other apps for taking animated GIF screen recordings.
I know I've left out options for other operating systems and devices, but I only wanted to recommend the ones I've tried myself. I use the paid version because GIFs created with the free version are limited to 10 seconds and have a watermark. It sits up in my menu bar and is easy to use.
I use Gifox when creating animated GIFs of my screen on the Mac.

The software is intuitive to use for simply creating an animated GIF of an area you choose on your screen and they also have a User Guide. I like to use ScreenToGif which is a free open source app for Windows 7 or later. Here are a couple apps you can use to create animated GIF screen recordings. Unfortunately, animated GIFs can't normally be as long as videos, but you can use them to quickly show off some core functionality of your app. Here's one for my Farmer's Market Finder app: You can, however put an animated GIF in a README file and that's what I've done with many of my projects. However, I know they're busy and won't have much time to spend so I wanted to make it easy for them and others visiting my repo and show the app in action in the README.md file that's displayed when you go to a repository.Įmbedding a video in a GitHub README would be a dream come true, but as I found out, it's not possible-you'd have to link to the video instead. I have my GitHub link on my resume and if I'm lucky, potential employers might check out my apps on GitHub.
