+.SH "NAME"
+\fBconfig\fR - More than you probably want to know about npm configuration
+.SS "Description"
+.P
+This article details npm configuration in general. To learn about the \fBconfig\fR command, see npm help config.
+.P
+npm gets its configuration values from the following sources, sorted by priority:
+.SS "Command Line Flags"
+.P
+Putting \fB--foo bar\fR on the command line sets the \fBfoo\fR configuration parameter to \fB"bar"\fR. A \fB--\fR argument tells the cli parser to stop reading flags. Using \fB--flag\fR without specifying any value will set the value to \fBtrue\fR.
+.P
+Example: \fB--flag1 --flag2\fR will set both configuration parameters to \fBtrue\fR, while \fB--flag1 --flag2 bar\fR will set \fBflag1\fR to \fBtrue\fR, and \fBflag2\fR to \fBbar\fR. Finally, \fB--flag1 --flag2 -- bar\fR will set both configuration parameters to \fBtrue\fR, and the \fBbar\fR is taken as a command argument.
+.SS "Environment Variables"
+.P
+Any environment variables that start with \fBnpm_config_\fR will be interpreted as a configuration parameter. For example, putting \fBnpm_config_foo=bar\fR in your environment will set the \fBfoo\fR configuration parameter to \fBbar\fR. Any environment configurations that are not given a value will be given the value of \fBtrue\fR. Config values are case-insensitive, so \fBNPM_CONFIG_FOO=bar\fR will work the same. However, please note that inside npm help scripts npm will set its own environment variables and Node will prefer those lowercase versions over any uppercase ones that you might set. For details see \fBthis issue\fR \fI\(lahttps://github.com/npm/npm/issues/14528\(ra\fR.
+.P
+Notice that you need to use underscores instead of dashes, so \fB--allow-same-version\fR would become \fBnpm_config_allow_same_version=true\fR.
+.SS "npmrc Files"
+.P
+The four relevant files are:
+.RS 0
+.IP \(bu 4
+per-project configuration file (\fB/path/to/my/project/.npmrc\fR)
+.IP \(bu 4
+per-user configuration file (defaults to \fB$HOME/.npmrc\fR; configurable via CLI option \fB--userconfig\fR or environment variable \fB$NPM_CONFIG_USERCONFIG\fR)
+.IP \(bu 4
+global configuration file (defaults to \fB$PREFIX/etc/npmrc\fR; configurable via CLI option \fB--globalconfig\fR or environment variable \fB$NPM_CONFIG_GLOBALCONFIG\fR)
+.IP \(bu 4
+npm's built-in configuration file (\fB/path/to/npm/npmrc\fR)
+.RE 0
+
+.P
+See npm help npmrc for more details.
+.SS "Default Configs"
+.P
+Run \fBnpm config ls -l\fR to see a set of configuration parameters that are internal to npm, and are defaults if nothing else is specified.
+.SS "Shorthands and Other CLI Niceties"
+.P
