You can just source it, like this:

:so ~/.vimrc

Also, for convenience, it usually gets mapped to something quicker to type:

nmap <silent> <leader>sv :so $MYVIMRC<CR>

And then of course, it would be nice to open vimrc a little quicker:

nmap <silent> <leader>ev :e $MYVIMRC<CR>

You can automate this by creating an autocmd that sources the .vimrc file every time it is saved:

autocmd BufWritePost .vimrc so %

If you are editing it,just type:

:so %
