# npm-config(1)

## NAME

**npm-config**

## Synopsis

\<!-- AUTOGENERATED USAGE DESCRIPTIONS --\>

Note: This command is unaware of workspaces.

## Description

npm gets its config settings from the command line, environment\
 variables, **npmrc** files, and in some cases, the **package.json** file.

See npmrc for more information about the npmrc\
 files.

See config for a more thorough explanation of the\
 mechanisms involved, and a full list of config options available.

The **npm config** command can be used to update and edit the contents\
 of the user and global npmrc files.

## Sub-commands

Config supports the following sub-commands:

### set

```
npm config set key=value [key=value...]
npm set key=value [key=value...]
```

Sets each of the config keys to the value provided.

If value is omitted, then it sets it to an empty string.

Note: for backwards compatibility, **npm config set key value** is supported\
 as an alias for **npm config set key=value**.

### get

```
npm config get [key ...]
npm get [key ...]
```

Echo the config value(s) to stdout.

If multiple keys are provided, then the values will be prefixed with the\
 key names.

If no keys are provided, then this command behaves the same as **npm config list**.

### list

```
npm config list
```

Show all the config settings. Use **-l** to also show defaults. Use **--json**\
 to show the settings in json format.

### delete

```
npm config delete key [key ...]
```

Deletes the specified keys from all configuration files.

### edit

```
npm config edit
```

Opens the config file in an editor.  Use the **--global** flag to edit the\
 global config.

### fix

```
npm config fix
```

Attempts to repair invalid configuration items.  Usually this means\
 attaching authentication config (i.e. **\_auth**, **\_authToken**) to the\
 configured **registry**.
