Edit a config file using shell script

I need to edit a config file using shell script. i.e., Search with the 'key' string and edit the 'value'.

For eg: below is what I have in the config file "configfile.cfg".

Key1=OldValue1
Key2=OldValue2

I want to search for "Key1" and change "OldValue1" to "NewValue1"

Thanks for your help.

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.
