Quick source
Posted on September 9th, 1997 by shacker
After editing your .profile
or UserSetupEnvironment
, you need to „source“ or basically „re-read“ the file’s contents into memory in order for the changes to take effect. I’m lazy, and „source“ is 5 letters too many. Just type:
. .profile
(or . ~/.profile
if you are not in your home dir)
instead of
source .profile
Isn’t that much better? ; ^ )
