      echo "'$K' already exists. Updating..."
      CURL_OUTPUT=$(curl -s -H "Authorization: token $TOKEN" -X PATCH "https://api.github.com/repos/$owner/$repo/labels/${K/ /%20}" -d "{\"name\":\"$K\", \"color\":\"${LABELS[$K]}\"}")

      echo "$CURL_OUTPUT"
      echo "Exiting..."
      exit 1;
    fi
  else
    echo "Created '$K'."
  fi
done
exit 0

L-84 should be exit 1 or anything > 0
L-91 should have an exit 0
