How do I remove the source (base) from my terminal?

Question

I created some new aliases in my .bashrc file and did

source ~/.bashrc

Now, everytime I open my terminal it always comes with the (base)

How do I remove that?

Answer 1

That's the "base" environment from Anaconda or Miniconda. It means the Python environment from conda is enabled by default.

There're two solutions.

1. Just disable the base environment, make sure your conda >= 4.6. Whenever you wanna use Python, enable an environment from conda manually with following command,

   # run this in an interactive shell
   # enable environment called "base", the default env from conda
   conda activate base
   # deactivate an environment
   conda deactivate
   

2. Enable the base environment, which is the default behavior of conda, but don't modify your prompt. Run the following command in an interactive shell once.

   conda config --set changeps1 false
   

Answer 2

If you'd prefer that conda's base environment not be activated on startup, you can always set the auto_activate_base parameter to false:

conda config --set auto_activate_base false

Answer 3

The following code in the .bashrc file should initialize an anaconda environment. Just remove them.

# >>> conda initialize >>>
# !! Contents within this block are managed by 'conda init' !!
__conda_setup="$('/Users/proshore/opt/anaconda3/bin/conda' 'shell.zsh' 'hook' 2$
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
    eval "$__conda_setup"
else
    if [ -f "/Users/proshore/opt/anaconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh" ]; then
        . "/Users/proshore/opt/anaconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh"
    else
        export PATH="/Users/proshore/opt/anaconda3/bin:$PATH"
    fi
fi
unset __conda_setup
# <<< conda initialize <<<

Answer 4

This happens due to the installation o Anaconda or Miniconda. Depending on your mac version, you can just add one more line at the end of "~/.zshrc" or "~/.bashrc" with vim or any of your fav editors.

conda deactivate

Save the file, and now whenever you open the terminal again you won't see (base).
