Unable to export the variable through script file [duplicate]
Solution 1:
Running your script like
. ./script
or
source script
would execute your script in the current shell context (without creating a subshell) and the environment variables set within the script would be available in your current shell.
From the manual:
. filename [arguments]
Read and execute commands from the filename argument in the current shell context. If filename does not contain a slash, the
PATH
variable is used to find filename. When Bash is not inPOSIX
mode, the current directory is searched if filename is not found in$PATH
. If any arguments are supplied, they become the positional parameters when filename is executed. Otherwise the positional parameters are unchanged. The return status is the exit status of the last command executed, or zero if no commands are executed. If filename is not found, or cannot be read, the return status is non-zero. This builtin is equivalent tosource
