npm unstar <package_name>

<package_name>
    The name of the npm package to remove the star from.

The `npm-unstar` command is used to remove your star (or 'un-favorite') from a package on the npm registry. When you star a package on the npm website (npmjs.com), you indicate your interest or approval of that package. Using `npm unstar ` removes that indication. This is useful if you no longer wish to follow updates for a particular package, or if you accidentally starred it.
This command requires you to be logged in to your npm account via the `npm login` command. Without proper authentication, you cannot remove a star. It's a straightforward command that helps you manage your starred packages.

Requires you to be logged in to your npm account using `npm login`.

If you are not logged in or do not have the rights, `npm unstar` will return an error. Verify your login status by running `npm whoami` or log in using `npm login`.

Removing a star does not affect the package itself or its popularity metrics. It only removes your personal 'starred' status for that package.

The `npm-unstar` command was introduced as part of npm's features to allow users to express interest in, and keep track of, packages they find useful or interesting. It complements the `npm star` command and provides a way to reverse the 'starring' action.
It has been available since a point where the npm registry and CLI started focusing on social features, aiming to enhance package discovery and community engagement.
