SYNOPSIS

npm config [command] [options]

npm config manages npm configuration across multiple levels. It reads settings from the command line, environment variables, and .npmrc files (project, user, and global).Configuration files are plain ini-formatted lists of key = value pairs. Environment variables prefixed with npm_config_ are also recognized as configuration settings.

PARAMETERS

set KEY=VALUE

Set a config value.

get KEY

Echo a config value to stdout.

list

Show all config settings. Use -l to show defaults. Use --json for JSON output.

delete KEY

Remove a key from all configuration files.

edit

Open the config file in an editor. Use --global to edit the global config.

fix

-g, --global

Operate on the global configuration file.

--location user|global|project

CAVEATS

Multiple .npmrc locations exist with a precedence order: project > user > global > defaults. Credentials and tokens may be stored in .npmrc files.

HISTORY
