+!How to directly interpret a shell script by the current shell. (Without forking a subshell)
+
+*. <myscript>
+
+If the above script makes a change to the environment, it is the environment of this shell that is changed.
+So if inside the script we change the directory, then when the script has finished being interpreted we will find ourselves in the new directory.
+
+Note : This can be handy when you want to reset the shell environment variables.
+
+Just do:
+
+*. ~~/.bashrc
