I created a PowerShell script to set aliases for a PowerShell session. When I run the script and try the alias, I get the error saying that the alias isn't recongized. How can I use the aliases that are set by the script?

Run the script using Dot sourcing operator:
.Dot sourcing operator
Runs a script in the current scope so that any functions, aliases, and variables that the script creates are added to the current scope.. c:\scripts\sample.ps1Note: The dot sourcing operator is followed by a space. Use the space to distinguish the dot from the dot (
.) symbol that represents the current directory.
In the following example, theSample.ps1script in the current directory is run in the current scope.. .\sample.ps1

Is that using the absolute path, not a relative path? – thecomputerguru – 2019-12-10T23:08:56.283
The former example
. c:\scripts\sample.ps1shows an absolute path while the latter example. .\sample.ps1shows a relative one. – JosefZ – 2019-12-11T15:02:53.353
