Ansispan.convert(ansi_text)
# => * <span style="color: yellow">8fb4737</span><span style="color: yellow"> (</span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: cyan">HEAD -> </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: green">master</span><span style="color: yellow">, </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: red">origin/master</span><span style="color: yellow">, </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: red">origin/HEAD</span><span style="color: yellow">)</span> rails new

The default escape character is \033 but you can pass your own to the convert method.
