Setup

conda and git bash

Use Automation instead of typing the command

Instead of running the following command in git bash :

conda deactivate

Use :

Automation

In .bashrc file :

alias deactivate_conda="./deactivate_conda.sh"
alias deactivate_conda_base="conda deactivate"

In deactivate_conda.sh :

#!/bin/bash
# conda deactivate

conda deactivate commented out in script above for the following reason:

ChatGPT3.5 Recommendation/Fix:

In your deactivate_conda.sh script, you have the following line:

conda deactivate

This line is interpreted as a command to the conda tool,
and it's trying to find a command named
"deactivate"
within conda,
which doesn't exist.

This is causing the error message you're seeing.

To fix this issue,
you should remove the line
conda deactivate
from the deactivate_conda.sh script.

Since you're using the
alias deactivate_conda_base
to deactivate the base Conda environment,
you don't need to manually run

conda deactivate

in your script.

In git bash cli :

Modify the deactivate_conda.sh shell script to make a .exe executable file in the background:

$ chmod +x deactivate_conda.sh

call the deactivate_conda.sh file in the current (.) directory :

ChatGPT3.5 recommendation:

Just a quick note,
when you use the chmod +x command on a script,
you're making it executable,
which means you can run it directly without specifying the interpreter
(e.g., ./script.sh).

So, in your process, you could directly run
deactivate_conda.sh
without needing to add the
./
before it.

$ ./deactivate_conda.sh

source the .bashrc file :

$ source ~/.bashrc

run the deactivate_conda_base alias made above in the .bashrc file which runs the command conda deactivate automatically :

deactivate_conda_base
