Hi gernophil,
Thanks for your feedback.
Yes in this case both will look for same `.condarc` file at $HOME.
1. But you can change this behavior by specifing ```export CONDARC="your custom condarc"``` environment varialable.
2. Or you can have seperate condarc files for each conda environment your create. For that you need to use below flag when calling `conda config`
```
--env
Write to the active conda environment .condarc file (<no active environment>). If no environment is active, write to the user config file (/home/docs/.condarc).
```
