## In POSIX sh, `|&` in place of `2>&1 |` is undefined.
### Problematic code:
```sh
#!/bin/sh
make |& tee ~/log
```
### Correct code:
Either switch to bash:
```sh
#!/bin/sh
make 2>&1 | tee ~/log
```
### Rationale:
Your script uses a shell feature not supported by the shebang. Either rewrite the script to be portable, or change the shebang to explicitly require a shell like Bash.
In this case, the non-portable shorthand `|&` to pipe both stdout and stderr can be easily replaced with its written out form `2>&1 |` as shown.
### Exceptions:
None
