How to rename a conda environment (workaround)
Raw
conda_environment_rename.sh
#One workaround is to create clone environment, and then remove original one:
#(remember about deactivating current environment with deactivate on Windows and source deactivate on macOS/Linux)
conda create --name new_name --clone old_name --offline #use --offline flag to disable the redownload of all your packages
conda remove --name old_name --all # or its alias: `conda env remove --name old_name`
#There are several drawbacks of this method:
# time consumed on copying environment's files,
# temporary double disk usage.

Seems not to work properly!
