title: Can colorized output be captured via shell redirect?
body: <p>Various bash commands I use -- fancy diffs, build scripts, etc, produce lots of color output.</p>
  
  <p>When I redirect this output to a file, and then <code>cat</code> or <code>less</code> the file later, the colorization is gone -- presumably b/c the act of redirecting the output stripped out the color codes that tell the terminal to change colors.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to capture colorized output, including the colorization?</p>
