`conda config --get`	Get all keys and values from my .condarc file
`conda config --get channels`	Get value of the key channels from .condarc file
`conda config --add channels pandas`	Add a new value to channels so conda looks for packages in this location

Managing Packages, Including Python

`conda list`	View list of packages and versions installed in active environment
