How to Override Environment Setup

[krunalvaghani]

Hi everyone,

Here are a few ways to set up an environment with Hatch using the pyproject.toml file:

• Virtual environment (.venv)

[tool.hatch.envs.default]
type = "virtual"
path = ".venv"

This creates a virtual environment in the .venv folder within the project directory.

• Virtual environment (Hatch default)

[tool.hatch.envs.default]
type = "virtual"

This creates a virtual environment in the default location specified in Hatch's config.toml file under the [dirs] section, as described here.

• Conda environment

[tool.hatch.env]
requires = ["hatch-conda"]

[tool.hatch.envs.default]
type = "conda"

This sets up a Conda environment.

Question

Is there a way for the user to configure Hatch to use their default environment setup (e.g., via the config.toml file) instead of what's defined in the pyproject.toml file? Can the user override the environment settings in pyproject.toml with their own default preferences?
