alternative command to run source linux
# Short answer:
# An alternative to sourcing a file with source (e.g.: source ~/.bashrc)
# is to use the period (e.g.: . ~/.bashrc)
# Note, you might be tempted to make an alias for source like:
# alias source='source ~/.bashrc' but it's probably better to use
# something like alias sourcebash='source ~/.bashrc' to avoid creating
# problems for yourself.
