+# Show Description Of All npm Config Options
+
+In [Open Global npm Config File](open-global-npm-config-file.md), I showed how
+you can access and modify the current npm config. The thing that stands out in
+that file is the sheer number of config options.
+
+What do they all mean?
+
+To get "more than you probably want to know about npm configuration", open up
+the npm config help with the following command:
+
+```bash
+$ npm help 7 config
+```
+
+There are a ton, so browse at your own peril. You'll notice that each option
+lists its default value, the type of that value, and a description about usage.
