[Python] Configuring VSCode Studio to auto select a conda kernel for all notebooks in a...

I am trying to configure VSCode to remember the Conda kernel for an entire repository so that I do not have to select the kernel every time I open a python Jupyter notebook in VSCode.

In this example, my conda kernel is named geotgr when I print jupyter kernelspec list. I made a workspace configuration file named .vscode/settings.json in my repository:

{
"python.defaultInterpreterPath": "${env:CONDA_PREFIX}/bin/python",
"python.analysis.extraPaths": ["${env:CONDA_PREFIX}/lib/python3.12/site-packages"],
"jupyter.jupyterServerType": "local",
"jupyter.defaultKernel": "geotgr",
"jupyter.kernels.default": "geotgr",
"jupyter.kernels.exclude": [
"Python 2",
"Python 3"
]
}


Despite this, when I open the Notebook.ipynb file, it does not remember and pick the kernel. I also tried an absolute file path which did not work.

"python.defaultInterpreterPath": "/home/darkknight/anaconda3/envs/geotgr/bin/",
"python.analysis.extraPaths": ["/home/darkknight/anaconda3/envs/geotgr/lib/python3.12/site-packages"]
