The issue is that scripts run in a private subshell, and therefore don't affect the shell that called them.

If we pretend that we have a script like this:
Code:

#!/bin/bash
# Name: test_script

export OOGA=echo 'ooga'
export BOOGA=echo 'booga'

Then we can add it to the current shell by using the source command:
Code:

source test_script
