`tee` to the Rescue: Split Command Output and Save

Challenge: You need to see the output of a command in real-time on your terminal while also saving that same output to a file for later analysis.

The Solution: Use the `tee` command to duplicate the standard output.

your_command | tee output.log

Why it works: `tee` reads from standard input and writes to standard output and one or more files. It acts like a T-splitter for your data stream.

Pro-Tip: Use `tee -a output.log` to append to the file instead of overwriting it.
