Version 1.0.0, published in March 2022, introduced the unified lock format as the default and documented the old explicit per-platform style as a compatibility mode. Version 2.0.0, published in May 2023, was the first release under the Conda organization after graduating from conda-incubator. ### Adoption history conda-lock fits the reproducible-environments gap between human-authored conda environment.yml files and fully pinned, multi-platform deployment artifacts. Its documentation emphasizes environment.yml, meta.yaml, pyproject.toml, integrated pip support, and solveless conda installation. ### How it is used Users typically provide one or more source files such as environment.yml, conda-lock.yml, pyproject.toml, or meta.yaml, choose target platforms, generate conda-lock.yml, and install or render platform-specific lock files in CI or deployment workflows. ### Why package nerds care For package-manager users, conda-lock is important because it makes conda environments behave more like lockfile-centered ecosystems: input specs remain readable while machine-resolved artifacts preserve exact packages across Linux, macOS, Windows, and architecture variants. ### Timeline - 2019: Official GitHub repository created. - 2022: v1.0.0 released with the unified lock format. - 2023: v2.0.0 released as the first release under the Conda organization. ### Related projects - conda-lock is closely tied to conda, conda-forge, mamba, pip, Poetry-style pyproject metadata, and conda environment.yml workflows. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for conda-lock. Nucleus package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL. ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials. Automic Vault can use them as review targets for secret scanning, migration, and command approval. ## Configuration files - Unix: ./environment.yml, ./conda-lock.yml, ./pyproject.toml, ./meta.yaml ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** conda-lock - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Package publisher tools](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/package-publishers/) - Belongs to a package publishing or registry command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [python@3.14](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/python-3-14/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [zstd](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/zstd/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [rust](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rust/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [conan](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/conan/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, package-management, package-manager, python. - [grayskull](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/grayskull/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, conda, developer-tools, package-management, python. - [micromamba](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/micromamba/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, conda, developer-tools, package-management, package-manager. - [pdm](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/pdm/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, package-management, package-manager, python. - [pixi](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/pixi/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, conda, developer-tools, package-management, package-manager. - [poetry](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/poetry/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, package-management, package-manager, python. - [uv](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/uv/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, package-management, package-manager, python. - [akku](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/akku/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, package-management, package-manager. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
