What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/working-with-ssh-key-passphrases#auto-launching-ssh-agent-on-git-for-windows

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

The Windows portion of the article is unclear about where to find the \.bashrc or \.profile file in the Git shell.

Currently, the sentence reads as:

You can run ssh-agent automatically when you open bash or Git shell. Copy the following lines and paste them into your ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc file in Git shell:

This may be unclear to someone without a bash/linux - based background.

Expected outcome: Add directions to locating the \.bashrc or \.profile for Windows users.
