source command output lines

Question

I want to source a file containing several commands in a bash shell. How can I have the currently executed command printed on top of the commands output?

E.g. given this file test.sh

echo "hello"
echo "world"

the output of source test.sh should be:

echo "hello"
hello
echo "world"
world

It depends on what you want. `set -v` shows the commands *before* expansions, `set -x` shows them *after* expansions. — cdarke, May 24 '18 at 21:42

Type set -x before source test.sh. This tells the shell to show the commands that are being executed before executing them.

Type set +x to undo it afterwards.
