Reload .profile in bash shell script (in unix)?

Question

I am new to the bash shell scripting and have come across the challenge. I think I can reload my ".profile" file by just doing:

. .profile

but I'm trying to execute the same code in the bash script when I try to writing and it is just not working. Any ideas why this is happening?

Answer 1

Try this to reload your current shell:

source ~/.profile
