I am trying to transfer to another computer. However, for my current project, I have made a lot of changes in different packages' source codes. I suspect using conda env export > environment.yml and conda env create -f environment.yml will not keep my modified codes.
Can I just copy the 'environment' folder to another machine? What is the best way to modify the packages' source codes?
Have you tried conda-pack?
Seems to solve exactly the problem you have.
Quote from the docs:
A tool like conda-pack is necessary because conda environments are not relocatable. Simply moving an environment to a different directory can render it partially or completely inoperable. conda-pack addresses this challenge by building archives from original conda package sources and reproducing conda’s own relocation logic.
