--- section: cli-commands title: npm-config description: Manage the npm configuration files --- # npm-config(1) ## Manage the npm configuration files ### Synopsis ```bash npm config set <key> <value> [-g|--global] npm config get <key> npm config delete <key> npm config list [-l] [--json] npm config edit npm get <key> npm set <key> <value> [-g|--global] aliases: c ``` ### Description npm gets its config settings from the command line, environment variables, `npmrc` files, and in some cases, the `package.json` file. See [npmrc](/configuring-npm/npmrc) for more information about the npmrc files. See [config](/using-npm/config) for a more thorough discussion of the mechanisms involved. 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 ```bash npm config set key value ``` Sets the config key to the value. If value is omitted, then it sets it to "true". #### get ```bash npm config get key ``` Echo the config value to stdout. #### list ```bash npm config list ``` Show all the config settings. Use `-l` to also show defaults. Use `--json` to show the settings in json format. #### delete ```bash npm config delete key ``` Deletes the key from all configuration files. #### edit ```bash npm config edit ``` Opens the config file in an editor. Use the `--global` flag to edit the global config. ### See Also * [npm folders](/configuring-npm/folders) * [npm config](/cli-commands/npm-config) * [package.json](/configuring-npm/package-json) * [npmrc](/configuring-npm/npmrc) * [npm](/cli-commands/npm)
