Hi,
I am new to the bash and mostly Linux scripts. Where I can find useful
information about the bash command syntax, like
exec > $build_log 2>&1 and what does it really mean?
Many thanks,

I would suggest a good book, if I knew one. Just don't type "man bash"
until you're _really_ sure there's no other way out ;-)
Nah, it's not that bad.
In this case, I believe the script substitutes stdin with a logfile
(name taken from the variable $build_log defined previously) and stderr
with stdin (thus, both normal output and error messages is sent to the
log file instead of the console).
