Is there a way to save the colored output from a git show?
I saw the post about using a different editor. But that is a lot more than what I'm trying to do. I just want to capture a report that is visually easy to read.
Prefix your git command like so
git -c color.status=always
And colour will always be produced
Edit 2023:
Above had not worked, but below had:
if you want color codes in your redirected output, you can instead pass a --color flag to the Git command to force it to use color codes
