shell - Cause bash statement to error if its subshell errors -

is there concise, general, idiomatic bash construction force statement error when subshell invokes errors? example,

cd $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel) 

will invariably return 0 if git command errors, makes difficult script like

cd $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel) && echo 'success!' 

of course can following, wondering if there better way:

dir=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel) && cd $dir && echo 'success!' 

it's not quite general solution, in example do:

cd $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel || echo -@) && echo 'success!' 

this solution works turns output command won't accept if command in substitution fails.
