Avoid checking if error is nil repetition?

Question

I\'m currently learning go and some of my code looks like this:

a, err := doA()
if err != nil {
  return nil, err
}
b, err := doB(a)
if err != nil {
  return nil

You could create context type with result value and error.

type Type1 struct {
    a int
    b int
    c int

    err error
}

func (t *Type1) doA() {
    if t.err != nil {
        return
    }

    // do something
    if err := do(); err != nil {
        t.err = err
    }
}

func (t *Type1) doB() {
    if t.err != nil {
        return
    }

    // do something
    b, err := t.doWithA(a)
    if err != nil {
        t.err = err
        return
    }

    t.b = b
}

func (t *Type1) doC() {
    if t.err != nil {
        return
    }

    // do something
    c, err := do()
    if err != nil {
        t.err = err
        return
    }

    t.c = c
}

func main() {

    t := Type1{}
    t.doA()
    t.doB()
    t.doC()

    if t.err != nil {
        // handle error in t
    }

}
