2021 February 5thRemoving base from Terminalconda

By default, auto_activate_base is set to True when installing anaconda. To check this, run:

conda config --show | grep auto_activate_base
auto_activate_base: True

To set it False

conda config --set auto_activate_base False

and vice-versa.

Note, if changeps1 is kept False, it will hide (env) completely, and in case you want to show (env) only when it's activated, you can set changeps1 to True:

conda config --set changeps1 True

Setting changeps1 to False will hide (env) even if the env is activated and will keep hiding (base) even after auto_activate_base is set to True.
