Protip: If you use bash or zsh, you can source the ranger executable for this behavior (so the full command would be ". ranger"). If you're on fish, there is a patch pending for review, that soon will be available on master.

I don't observe a difference between `ranger` and `. ranger` in zsh. What am I supposed to notice?
With `. ranger`, if you change directory and then exit, the shell's working directory changes to where you left off in Ranger.

  $ pwd
  /home/grandpa
  $ ranger
  [ ... change directory ... ]
  $ pwd
  /home/grandpa
vs

  $ . ranger
  [ ... change directory ... ]
  $ pwd
  /home/grandpa/src
Got it. Thanks.
Thank you so much!
