 The `PROMPT_COMMAND` variable in bash tells bash what command to run before displaying the prompt. The `printf` statement is what we're using to append the sequence for setting the working directory with the Terminal. The `$(wslpath -w "$PWD")` bit will invoke the `wslpath` executable to convert the current directory into its Windows-like path. The `${PROMPT_COMMAND:+"$PROMPT_COMMAND; "}` bit is [some bash magic](https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/466100) to make sure we append this command to any existing command (if you've already set `PROMPT_COMMAND` somewhere else.)
 
+> [!NOTE]
+> We recommend using `.bashrc` rather than `.bash_profile` because most terminal sessions (including new tabs and panes in Windows Terminal) start as non-login shells, which only read `.bashrc`. If you need this to work in login shells as well, you can add the same line to `.bash_profile`, or have `.bash_profile` source `.bashrc`.
