As per the title, I'm wondering why I have (base) on the left of my terminal prompt.
If I run source ~/.profile in the terminal, it disappears.
If I close that terminal and reopen a new terminal, (base) is there again.

conda config --show | grep auto_activate_base
conda config --set auto_activate_base False
