7.12 Including Other Files in Scripts

If you need to include another file in your shell script, use the . operator. For example, this runs the commands in the file config.sh :

 . config.sh 

This "include" file syntax does not start a subshell, and it can be useful for a group of scripts that need to use a single configuration file.
