Source is a Unix command that evaluates a file or resource as a Tcl script.[1] When a return statement is reached, the script ends. Some bash scripts should be run using the source your-script syntax, e.g., if they contain a change directory (cd) command and the user intends that he be left in that directory after the script is complete.
