pip config command [options]

pip config manages pip's configuration files at different scopes. It provides a command-line interface for reading, writing, and editing pip settings without manually locating and editing INI-format configuration files.
Configuration is organized into three levels: global (system-wide), user (per-account), and site (per-virtualenv). Settings cascade so that more specific scopes override broader ones. Common settings include custom package index URLs, trusted hosts for private registries, and default installation options.
Use pip config list to see all active settings and their sources, or pip config debug to display the full search path and which files exist. The edit subcommand opens the appropriate config file in your default editor.
