152 How to source a file in the same dir in bash
This won't work
source .env
# - $0 is the path to the current script from where you are calling it. Note that
# it will change as you move up and down subdirectories.
# - dirname gets the containing directory
source "$(dirname -- "$0")/.env"
dirname example:
/Users/jackkinsella/Code/learning/code-diary
dirname $(pwd)0
# i.e. goes one folder up
/Users/jackkinsella/Code/learning
