# Open Global npm Config File
|
|
|
|
There are a ton of configuration settings for `npm`. I can open up the global
|
|
`npmrc` file where those configs live with the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ npm config edit --global
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will open up the file in my default editor (e.g. `vim`).
|
|
|
|
There are over 100 settings that are commented out with their default values. I
|
|
can override these as needed by uncommenting them and setting them to the
|
|
desired value.
|
|
|
|
There is some useful info in the first few lines:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
;;;;
|
|
; npm globalconfig file: /Users/me/.asdf/installs/nodejs/20.10.0/etc/npmrc
|
|
; this is a simple ini-formatted file
|
|
; lines that start with semi-colons are comments
|
|
; run `npm help 7 config` for documentation of the various options
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. I can see that the location of the file is specific to the version of node
|
|
that I current have shimmed. In this case, it's `20.10.0`. If I switch node
|
|
versions, there will be a different `envrc` to configure.
|
|
|
|
2. I can get more info about these config values by running `npm help 7 config`.
