Is it possible to configure Anaconda Prompt to use different Shells?

Is it possible to configure Anaconda Prompt to use a different shell environment from the default installation on Windows-10?

I can't find any documenation specifying the Shell Anaconda Prompt uses, but it behaves like Windows CMD.exe. I'm more experienced with Bash and would prefer it, but even PowerShell would be an improvement.

I chose Anaconda to deploy my Python script on my work computer (this is a user install and not systmem-wide). I'm typically working in Windows GUI. When I need to use my Python Script, I need the CLI, and need to navigate directories, move & delete files.

I asked a similar question of the Anaconda - public group, and MSYS2 was a recommended direction. However, MSYS2 launches in it's own shell window, and so doesn't appear to have access to the Anaconda Python environment.


So far, I've been opening two terminals--Anaconda Prompt to exectue the script and WSL-Debian to perform file actions. This would be too complicated for some of my coleagues, and I wish to improve the CLI experience. But regardless, this is a CLI project.
