Say I have a file called
variables.sh
that sets two variables.
foo=bar
bar=foo
If I source
this file I can use these variables in the current shell, but if I want to use it in a second shell script I would have to export them instead, so the file would have to look like this:
export foo=bar
export bar=foo
It is possible to do some kind of source
+ export
or do I have to change variables.sh
so that there is export
before every variable is set?
