I guess you are already fell in love with new Windows Terminal and its customization ability to add all your favorite terminal applications and multiple tab feature. Here are the steps to add Anaconda Prompt to Windows Terminal.

Add Anaconda Prompt to Windows Terminal

Open Windows Terminal and create a new guid in PowerShell

New-Guid

Click the down arrow and then Settings. This will open the settings.json file to customize the terminal.

Add the following below cmd profile settings

{
// Make changes here to the cmd.exe profile.
“guid”: “{3fb050d6–6087–4afe-a43d-29fb019977f7}”,
“name”: “Anaconda”,
“commandline”: “cmd.exe /K C:\\Users\\%username%\\Anaconda3\\Scripts\\activate.bat”,
“icon”: “C:\\Users\\%username%\\anaconda3\\Menu\\anaconda-navigator.ico”,
“hidden”: false
},

Save the changes to the settings.json file

Click the down arrow and select Anaconda

Voila!

Add Anaconda Prompt to Windows Terminal Preview

This is much easier as Windows Terminal Preview has a GUI option to customize the settings.

Open Windows Terminal Preview and click the arrow and then Settings. This will open the settings tab to customize the terminal.
