You can undo this by running `conda init --reverse $SHELL`? [yes|no] [no] >>> no # To use the conda command, you need to add the ~/miniforge3/condabin directory to # the PATH environment variable. Some old guides use "conda init" but it seems to point # conda not mamba. To setup mamba properly: $ ~/miniforge3/condabin/mamba init # Prevent auto activate the base env. True this is confusing, you need to use conda # here. $ conda config --set auto_activate_base false |
