Two small — though important — changes 1. Since [the release of conda 4.6](https://www.anaconda.com/blog/conda-4-6-release), the [recommended way to activate a conda env](https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/tasks/manage-environments.html#activating-an-environment) is to use `conda activate <myenv>`. 2. The [conda docs say](https://conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/tasks/manage-environments.html#exporting-an-environment-file-across-platforms) that the correct way to export an env is to use the `--from-history` flag. This only includes packages that you’ve explicitly asked for, and only "pins" versions when you asked to do so. If you use this flag, the "macOS-specific" packages probably won't appear.

conda activate <myenv>.--from-historyflag. This only includes packages that you’ve explicitly asked for, and only "pins" versions when you asked to do so. If you use this flag, the "macOS-specific" packages probably won't appear.I'm actually of the opinion that the list of macOS-specific packages should be removed, but I'll leave them here because other people don't seem to agree — though in any case, I don't see why those packages' versions should be relevant. See also #11.
