When you have a terminal open already you can type source ~/.bashrc and it will recompile your bashrc file and you don't have to open and close the terminal. Helpful if you are using nano/vim/emacs to edit the bashrc file

If you work in linux long enough, eventually you will find also . file.sh (a dot and then a shell file) which is basically the same of source file.sh :)
