The "exit 0" is useless since, as already explained, the script use "set
-e". If a command returns a non-zero exit status, the script will stop
at this point and return that exit status. Which means you'll never
reach exit 0 in such a case.

From "help set"

-e  Exit immediately if a command exits with a non-zero status.
