No need to remember `uv pip install...` or `pip install...` with the Python Environments Extension it is just the click of a few buttons ๐Ÿ–ฑ๏ธ

Do you know the difference between "python-envs.terminal.autoActivationType" set to "command" or "shellStartup"?

It's an important but complicated setting (which confused me when I first got into the envs ext) so I wrote a wiki page: github.com/microsoft/vs...

Hi Conda people! I am back with a specific question this time- how do you tell if a given Conda environment is prefixed or named? I can see it in `conda info --envs` but is there any way given a specific path to an executable to know which one it is without parsing that list?

same thing for the activate script, I end up search for it in a ton of places since I don't feel confident about where it is stored. Are there docs on this? github.com/microsoft/vs...

Thanks for the reply- any better way to find the .ps1 script? github.com/microsoft/vs... I ended up just checking a lot of locations.

Mostly I struggled to find different scripts, either the activate script or a specific shell one. I ended up just checking a bunch of candidates like this for .ps1 github.com/microsoft/vs...
