If you make changes to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile or ~/.zshrc, etc... you can load the changes without logging in and out again by issuing a source command:
source ~/.bashrc # load changes, execute commands, etc...
alternatively, you can use the shortcut dot syntax:
. ~/.bashrc
You can do the same in Vim to read a file of ex-commands such as your ~/.vimrc.
:source ~/.vimrc

Writing portable anything in UNIX is much harder than it ought to be.
