Use of set env_prompt needs more explanations

[SarahAlidoost]

In Episode 02, it is shown how to modify the env_prompt setting in the .condarc file, following the command conda config --set env_prompt '({name})'. It would be useful to add some explanations about:

• the argument "name" inside the command shouldn't be replaced by the environment name.
• if users open the terminal after running this command, they would see the "anaconda3" instead of “base” on the left side of prompt because (for example in my case on linux) the “base” is located in this path ~/anaconda3.
• one way to fix the problem above is to remove the ~/.condarc file.

I updated the name argument thinking it referred to the name I wanted to give the environment and it resulted in some scary error messages. I could not activate any environment. As @SarahAlidoost mentioned, this was fixed by deleting the ~/.condarc file.
