###
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 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

    npm config set key value

Sets the config key to the value.

If value is omitted, then it sets it to "true".

####
get

    npm config get key

Echo the config value to stdout.

####
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

Deletes the key from all configuration files.

####
edit

    npm config edit

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