How to exit from a shell script if cmake build fails [duplicate]

Question

I want to write a shell script in which am going to use cmake build:

cmake ..
cmake --build .

After these 2 statements more statements are to be added in the script. But if the cmake build fails the shell script should exit. Is there any way to achieve this?

Please see: Aborting a shell script if any command returns a non-zero value. The question post shows how to exit if a specific command fails, and the answer shows how to exit if any command in a script fails. — starball

You should edit to say (by tagging and by stating) exactly what shell scripting language you want and answer for. — starball

try add set -e in front of the script
bash manual: https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/The-Set-Builtin.html
but it should also work with sh/zsh

#!/usr/bin/sh
set -e

echo foo
false
echo bar
