What's the difference between 'source' and '.' ?

- iguessthislldo 1y agoI think they're the same except '.' is POSIX and 'source' is specific to bash and compatible shells. I personally just use source since it's easier to read and zsh and bash account for basically 100% of my shell usage.
- Noumenon72 1y agoIf $SHELL is /bin/sh, the source command does not exist, but '.' still works.
