[ale] terminal/shell transcript as a presentation, likely via VIM

In a presentation I am doing tomorrow I need to demo using several git
commands. I'm thinking about taking a shell transcript (captured via
GNU screen's :hardcopy -h transcript.txt) and then opening it up in
vim. I would then proceed to delete from the bottom up,
command+results, step by step, until I get to the first prompt. I
could then step back through it with the "u" key (which I will have my
IR remote configured for). This would totally work, but If I make a
mistake, loose the buffer, etc. I will have to recreate the undo
history. I see this as a liability and would like a more solid
preparation.

Any ideas?

I'm thinking I used to do a trick where I would save state, exit vim,
and return later. I haven't needed that since I discovered GNU screen
and added it to my .bashrc
