Conda

Set default env to test

activate.py is hardcoded to emit conda activate base\n into your shell profile when you evaluate the shell hook produced by conda shell.zsh hook.

You can suppress this hardcoded "auto-activate base" via:

conda config --set auto_activate_base false

Create test env:

conda create -n test

Then, in ~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc or wherever you source your shell profile from, you can append the following (after the conda shell hook) to explicitly activate the environment of your choosing:

conda activate test

Then close and reopen the terminal, you will see the test env is activated by default.
