       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.
