man bash, section INVOCATION:
A login shell is one whose first character of argument zero is a -, or
one started with the --login option.
An interactive shell is one started without non-option arguments and
without the -c option whose standard input and error are both connected
to terminals (as determined by isatty(3)), or one started with the -i
option. PS1 is set and $- includes i if bash is interactive, allowing
a shell script or a startup file to test this state.
...
When an interactive shell that is not a login shell is started, bash
reads and executes commands from ~/.bashrc, if that file exists. This
may be inhibited by using the --norc option. The --rcfile file option
will force bash to read and execute commands from file instead of
~/.bashrc.
Ssh is a login shell.
For most practical uses:
cat ~/.bashrc >> ~/.bash_profile && rm -f ~/.bashrc
and live happily ever after.
