title: Can I export a variable to the environment from a Bash script without sourcing it?
body: <p>Suppose that I have this script:</p>
  <p><strong>export.bash</strong>:</p>
  <pre><code>#! /usr/bin/env bash
  export VAR=&quot;HELLO, VARIABLE&quot;
  </code></pre>
  <p>When I execute the script and try to access to the <code>$VAR</code>, I don't get any value!</p>
  <pre><code>echo $VAR
  </code></pre>
  <p>Is there a way to access the <code>$VAR</code> by just executing <strong>export.bash</strong> without sourcing it?</p>
