Has anyone manged to set up tab complete with anaconda so that you could for example do conda activate fastai_de<tab> for it to complete like it would if you were navigating files in a directory?

=======================
Enabling tab completion
=======================

Conda versions up to 4.3 supports tab completion in bash shells via the argcomplete
package. Tab completion is deprecated starting with version 4.4. See `issue #415 <https://github.com/conda/conda-docs/issues/415>`_.

To enable tab completion:

#. Make sure that argcomplete is installed:

   .. code-block:: bash

      conda install argcomplete

#. Add the following code to your bash profile:

   .. code-block:: bash

      eval "$(register-python-argcomplete conda)"

I’ve tried to follow the guide presented here but with no luck.

A useful solution I’ve found is to create environments based on the folder I am working on:

I’ve added thes commands to my ~/.bash_aliases file:

alias condac='conda create -n $(basename $PWD)'
alias condaa='conda activate $(basename $PWD)'

These two commands will create and activate a conda enviroment based on the folder name that I am currently in.

Saves some typing I guess. Can add python=3.7 to the end of the condac command to specify version
