Make tasks fail in Azure Devops pipeline when git commands fail

I'm looking for an elegant or inelegant solution for failing a step in ADO pipelines when git commands return unexpected and unwanted results. In general, I call git with a bash task, like so:

steps:
- bash: |    
    git merge ${{ parameters.sourceBranch }}

If the merge fails, I would like this step to fail in my ADO pipeline. How would I go about doing that?

Would failOnStderr work? It looks like the bash step you're using is similar to script here.

Found a somewhat elegant solution just by setting a variable to the output:

git merge ${{ parameters.sourceBranch }}
status=$?
[ $status -eq 0 ] || exit $status

$? is the last status code. The next line says "if the last status was 0, continue on, else/or: exit with that status code".

Given that the result of the git merge command should be not successful on bash I created the below bash condition. If result is correct nothing will be done, else exit for the bash will be returned

if git merge ${{ parameters.sourceBranch }} > /dev/null 2>&1; then
        echo success
else
        exit 1
fi
