I use a macOS to connect to an Ubuntu server, after defining new .bash_profile (like upgrading node.js or making new alias), I will have to exit the ssh and login again after sourcing the .bash_profile before the updated bash to take effect is it possible to refresh the session in current terminal ssh session?

Just source the file by running . .bash_profile will do the job.

  • that means your shell is not bash. At a bash interactive prompt, enter help . source and you might notice ... certain similarities.
