CondaSync

Automatic Dependency Tracker

Most package managers, such as npm and yarn, update your dependency files the moment you make any changes to your environment. Conda (surprisingly) does not. Existing solutions require you to manually update your dependency list, which is tedious and prone to errors.

CondaSync is a simple Visual Studio Code Extension that integrates directly into your environment and does the boring work for you.

Features

• Track a conda environment through its entire life cycle with one command
• Automatically update and clean up your environment.yml (or similar) file
• Commit dependency changes to your local repository with each update
• Fully customize your extension to serve your needs

Usage

Ensure you have the latest versions of VSCode and conda installed, and have the Extension enabled in the Extensions sidebar.

• Open a Python project of your choice
• Enter the VSCode command line using Control+ Shift + P
• Use the Set Conda Environment command and enter the name of your conda environment (e.g. my_env)
• Use the Preferences: Open Workspace Settings command, and search for "CondaSync" to find a full list of settings

Contributing

Pull requests, bug reports, and feature requests are welcome! Please search existing issues before creating a new one.

To run from source:

git clone https://github.com/thisdotmatt/CondaSync.git
cd CondaSync
npm install
npm run compile

You can now use VSCode's Debugger: Run > Start Debugging, or use the Run Extension button in the VSCode footer.
