conda-anaconda-telemetry
The conda-anaconda-telemetry
plugin enables us to collect more detailed information about how you are using conda. Specifically, it lets us know:
- How you are using the
create
,install
, andsearch
commands - Which packages are in your active environment when running the above commands, including which version of
conda-build
you are using - Your configured channel URLs
- Your virtual packages
This information helps us understand environment usage and package popularity, ensuring our repository provides the packages our community needs. Essentially, this plugin helps us learn what we need to know to improve conda for everyone.
