Summary	0008868: PROMPT_COMMAND in user's .bashrc ?
Description	I am not familiar with Kali setup, so I am not sure where to find the source file for the bashrc file that endsup being setup for a user... However my bashrc (kalli-rolling, version 2024.02, on WSL2) had what looked like a typo ? : `PROMPT_COMMAND="PROMPT_COMMAND=echo"` This incidently breaks direnv's hook into the shell (unless it is intended?) which is the workflow I mainly use when managing my various python virtualenvs. It took me quite a while to track down... so I thought I let you guys know. I could fix the direnv hook by simply setting `PROMPT_COMMAND=echo` but I was wondering if this was intended maybe ? If it is, then what is the "advised way" for one dev to manage his/her virtualenvs ? there are many tools out there... Cheers.

You can still run bash if you want In bash `PROMPT_COMMAND="PROMPT_COMMAND=echo"` is used to introduce a new line before prompts, to copy our theme in zsh. What is the issue you are having with it?
