nixos install script on non-nixos doesn't add necessary lines to .bashrc

[chessai]

I am using Ubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu 18.04 (different boxes, same problem).

I am installing nix like so:

bash <(curl https://nixos.org/nix/install)
...stuff...

. /home/user/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/nix.sh

The nix installer adds the following to .profile:

# set PATH so it includes user's private bin directories
if [ -e /home/noc/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/nix.sh ]; then . /home/noc/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/nix.sh; fi # added by Nix installer

but not to .bashrc. So when installing nix on a new non-nixos machine, i have to manually add that line to .bashrc. This comes up often when running commands remotely with ssh, and the new boxes complain about nix commands not existing.
