How to restore reset npm configuration to default values

Question

I have played with npm set and npm config set for several times  now I want to reset to default values  a kind of factory reset    Does npm provide a command to do that  or Should I delete all configuration files by hands then reinstall it   I need it both on linux Centos and on Windows 8   Thanks in advance

npm config edit  Opens the config file in an editor  Use the --global flag to edit the global config  now you can delete what ever the registry s you don t want and save file   npm config list will display the list of available now

If it s about just one property - let s say you want to temporarily change some default  for instance disable CA checking  you can do it with  npm config set ca     To come back to the defaults for that setting  simply  npm config delete ca  To verify  use npm config get ca

To reset user defaults  Run this in the command line  or git bash on windows    echo     gt    npm config get userconfig  npm config edit   To reset global defaults  echo     gt    npm config get globalconfig  npm config --global edit   If you need sudo then run this instead   sudo sh -c  echo     gt    npm config get globalconfig

Config is written to  npmrc files so just delete it  NPM looks up config in this order  setting in the next overwrites the previous one  So make sure there might be global config that usually is overwritten in per-project that becomes active after you have deleted the per-project config file  npm config list will allways list the active config     npm builtin config file   path to npm npmrc  global config file   PREFIX etc npmrc  per-user config file   HOME  npmrc  per-project config file   path to my project  npmrc

For what it s worth  you can reset to default the value of a config entry with npm config delete  lt key gt   or npm config rm  lt key gt   but the usage of npm config rm is not mentioned in npm help config    Example     set registry value npm config set registry  https   skimdb npmjs com registry    revert change back to default npm config delete registry

If you run npm config edit  you ll get an editor showing the current configuration  and also a list of options and their default values   But I don t think there s a  reset  command
