when I get a fresh terminal, my prompt says 

(base) ~>

The (base) part is something that seems new. Was this added during a recent update? How do I get rid of it? There is one piece of customization in my dot .profile, namely

export PS1="\[\e[32;1m\]\w> \[\e[0m\]"

I also installed Conda recently, which might be related to that.

How do I remove (base) ?

  • @rydev see the edit history to see what more needed an edit. :) (except the bash lang indicator, that is fancy.) Drop by chat for further discussions. Also, OP: did you make a mistake about the macOS version there, or are you running Tiger ?

  • @ankii: Yes, it is 10.14.6, not 10.4.6 as I originally typed. Corrected.

Reset to default

It's a conda's environment indicator that none of the "new" environments is active, instead the default one is active. "new" here refers to those created by: conda create --name NameOfEnv python=3.6 or similar.

For getting rid of it, add the line conda deactivate at the end of ~/.bash_profile.

Verify by conda info --envs.
