conda-auto-env

(Semi-)Automatically activate a conda environment when entering a folder with an environment.yml file.

If the environment doesn't exist, conda-auto-env creates it and activates it for you.

This functionality was inspired by conda auto activate, virtualenv auto activate and autoenv.

Install

To install add this line to your .bashrc or .bash-profile:

source /path/to/conda_auto_env.sh

If you also want this script to be ran automatically, whenever you enter a directory add also the following:

export PROMPT_COMMAND="conda_auto_env;$PROMPT_COMMAND"

Otherwise, whenever in a directory containing environment.yml, you can execute conda_auto_env.

Remote environments

Alternatively, if you would also like to have support remote anaconda.org environments. Change those instructions to source /path/to/conda_auto_env_remote.sh. To specify a remote environment create an environment-remote.yml file with the name and channel of your environment:

name: pyladies-bokeh
channel: chdoig
