Usage

anaconda repo channel (--list | --create <CHANNEL> | --remove <CHANNEL> | --show <CHANNEL> | --list-packages <CHANNEL> [ ... ] | --history <CHANNEL> | --package-changes <CHANNEL> | --lock <CHANNEL> | --soft-lock <CHANNEL> | --unlock <CHANNEL> | --freeze <CHANNEL> | --unfreeze <CHANNEL>) [-o <#>] [-l <#>] [--full-details]

Replace <#> with a number for --offset (-o) or --limit (-l).

​
Description

Manages repository channels and subchannels: list channels, create or remove a channel, show channel details, list packages or files, view history, and change privacy (lock/unlock) or indexing (freeze/unfreeze). Exactly one action must be specified.

​
Subchannels

A subchannel is a hierarchical division within an existing channel, referenced using the <CHANNEL>/<SUBCHANNEL> syntax. Subchannels operate independently from the parent channel—they can have their own mirroring configurations, privacy settings, and policies.
Most channel actions that accept a <CHANNEL> argument also work with subchannels by specifying the full path.
