## Usage

```bash theme={null}
anaconda channel create <NAME> [OPTIONS]
```

## Description

Creates a new channel. You can specify the channel in two ways:

* **Simple name with `--namespace`**: `anaconda channel create my-channel --namespace my-org`
* **Combined format**: `anaconda channel create my-org/my-channel`

Both approaches are equivalent — use whichever you prefer.

If neither `--private` nor `--public` is specified, you are prompted to select the privacy level interactively.
