copy (split?) stdout instead of redirecting it

Question

In Bash, I'd like to redirect stdout to a file (>> mylog.txt) but also see the stdout output on the screen..

How can I do it with bash?

Use tee:

command | tee -a mylog.txt

will append the output of the command to the file and also show it on screen.
