 ### Error \ Exit code checking 
 
+We learned in our Command line module that all the commands we run are executable programs and most of them in Linux are kept under the `/bin` directory. </br>
+
+When we run a command in Linux that run executable will return what we call an "Exit Code". </br>
+In software engineering, programs will return a non-zero exit code when they terminate with an error. </br>
+This means if a command in our script fails to run, it returns an exit code that is greater than 0 and our script will continue to execute. </br>
+
+This may cause the outcome of our script executions to be undesirable. </br>
+
+To overcome this we can always check the exit codes of commands using a special variable called `$?` which will contain the exit code of the previously executed program. </br>
+
+Let's implement this for our two `git` commands that we have in our script and evaluate its exit status incase `git` fails:
+
 ```
 if [ $? -ne 0 ]
