-# Normally, pipelines only return a failure if the last command errors.
-# In combination with set -e, this will make your script exit if any command in a pipeline errors.
+# -e option instructs bash to immediately exit if any command [1] has a non-zero exit status
+# -u a reference to any variable you haven't previously defined
+# with the exceptions of $* and $@ - is an error, and causes the program to immediately exit
+# -o pipefail prevents errors in a pipeline from being masked. If any command in a pipeline fails,
+# that return code will be used as the return code of the whole pipeline. By default, the
