Running Shell Scripts with Source
Last updated
What is Running Shell Scripts with Source?
Sourcing a shell script executes the commands within the script in the current shell environment, rather than in a subshell. This means that any variables, functions, or aliases defined or modified within the script will directly affect the shell you're currently working in. This is in contrast to simply executing a script, which creates a new process and any changes are isolated to that process.
