Any changes made to .bash_profile or .bashrc require a restart of that

If you have at the end of the .bash_profile, the command
. .bashrc
Then after editing either one, you do
. .bash_profile ( which is the same as logging out & back in)
the new commands you entered will then work. Musch faster then a
logout/login.
Executing . .bash_profile makes no difference. The new dir won't show
up in another session, only if I open a new bash window, but never in
a new session.
The only thing concerning .bashrc in .bash_profile are these lines:
# include .bashrc if it exists
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
But it actually is not much of a problem any more, coz I already found
some solution. Nevertheless thanks for telling how to restart .bashrc &
.bash_profile. I didn't know this.
