[conda] where is the channel list stored in an environment?

[Chris Withers]

Hey,

So, picky <http://picky-conda.readthedocs.io/> just told me my channel
list didn't match the order of what I had in my environment.lock.yaml:
https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/7238

...but then I went digging and couldn't find any list of channels in
~/miniconda3/envs/myenv. Where is it stored?

Inside an activated env, conda config --show-sources doesn't appear to
give the same list as that in conda env export. Is that expected?

This code
<https://github.com/conda/conda/blob/997b043e612ff4013024a9e86136bb1a2f5d75eb/conda_env/env.py#L64>
suggests that maybe it isn't stored anywhere, which is a bit concerning.
I also can't find anything in conda env create
<https://github.com/conda/conda/blob/997b043e612ff4013024a9e86136bb1a2f5d75eb/conda_env/cli/main_create.py#L105>
that actually sets the channels, where does it get them from?

I have to admit, all the TODO and FIXME in that code makes me pretty sad...

cheers,

Chris
