Description
git_mirror:next_section should have an ERR and/or EXIT trap setup so that when the program exits, the user's prompt doesn't inherit the color. This would avoid us having to call this at the end of each function that uses next_section in git_mirror:
# Reset the color
echo -n $'\e[0m'
We could also move it to colors.bsh. Cf. colors.bsh:get_color

Research direction
Start with linux/git_mirror at the next_section function and compare its color handling with colors.bsh:get_color. Determine whether an ERR or EXIT trap belongs in git_mirror or colors.bsh, then verify that the terminal color is reset when the script exits without requiring each caller to emit the reset sequence.
