exports[`test/lib/utils/config/describe-all.js TAP > must match snapshot 1`] = `
#### \`_auth\`

* Default: null
* Type: null or String

A basic-auth string to use when authenticating against the npm registry.

Warning: This should generally not be set via a command-line option. It is
safer to use a registry-provided authentication bearer token stored in the
~/.npmrc file by running \`npm login\`.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`access\`

* Default: 'restricted' for scoped packages, 'public' for unscoped packages
* Type: null, "restricted", or "public"

When publishing scoped packages, the access level defaults to \`restricted\`.
If you want your scoped package to be publicly viewable (and installable)
set \`--access=public\`. The only valid values for \`access\` are \`public\` and
\`restricted\`. Unscoped packages _always_ have an access level of \`public\`.

Note: Using the \`--access\` flag on the \`npm publish\` command will only set
the package access level on the initial publish of the package. Any
subsequent \`npm publish\` commands using the \`--access\` flag will not have an
effect to the access level. To make changes to the access level after the
initial publish use \`npm access\`.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`all\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

When running \`npm outdated\` and \`npm ls\`, setting \`--all\` will show all
outdated or installed packages, rather than only those directly depended
upon by the current project.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`allow-same-version\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

Prevents throwing an error when \`npm version\` is used to set the new version
to the same value as the current version.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`audit\`

* Default: true
* Type: Boolean

When "true" submit audit reports alongside the current npm command to the
default registry and all registries configured for scopes. See the
documentation for [\`npm audit\`](/commands/npm-audit) for details on what is
submitted.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`audit-level\`

* Default: null
* Type: null, "info", "low", "moderate", "high", "critical", or "none"

The minimum level of vulnerability for \`npm audit\` to exit with a non-zero
exit code.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`before\`

* Default: null
* Type: null or Date

If passed to \`npm install\`, will rebuild the npm tree such that only
versions that were available **on or before** the \`--before\` time get
installed. If there's no versions available for the current set of direct
dependencies, the command will error.

If the requested version is a \`dist-tag\` and the given tag does not pass the
\`--before\` filter, the most recent version less than or equal to that tag
will be used. For example, \`foo@latest\` might install \`foo@1.2\` even though
\`latest\` is \`2.0\`.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`bin-links\`

* Default: true
* Type: Boolean

Tells npm to create symlinks (or \`.cmd\` shims on Windows) for package
executables.

Set to false to have it not do this. This can be used to work around the
fact that some file systems don't support symlinks, even on ostensibly Unix
systems.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`browser\`

* Default: OS X: \`"open"\`, Windows: \`"start"\`, Others: \`"xdg-open"\`
* Type: null, Boolean, or String

The browser that is called by npm commands to open websites.

Set to \`false\` to suppress browser behavior and instead print urls to
terminal.

Set to \`true\` to use default system URL opener.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`ca\`

* Default: null
* Type: null or String (can be set multiple times)

The Certificate Authority signing certificate that is trusted for SSL
connections to the registry. Values should be in PEM format (Windows calls
it "Base-64 encoded X.509 (.CER)") with newlines replaced by the string
"\\n". For example:

\`\`\`ini
ca="-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\\nXXXX\\nXXXX\\n-----END CERTIFICATE-----"
\`\`\`

Set to \`null\` to only allow "known" registrars, or to a specific CA cert to
trust only that specific signing authority.

Multiple CAs can be trusted by specifying an array of certificates:

\`\`\`ini
ca[]="..."
ca[]="..."
\`\`\`

See also the \`strict-ssl\` config.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`cafile\`

* Default: null
* Type: Path

A path to a file containing one or multiple Certificate Authority signing
certificates. Similar to the \`ca\` setting, but allows for multiple CA's, as
well as for the CA information to be stored in a file on disk.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`call\`

* Default: ""
* Type: String

Optional companion option for \`npm exec\`, \`npx\` that allows for specifying a
custom command to be run along with the installed packages.

\`\`\`bash
npm exec --package yo --package generator-node --call "yo node"
\`\`\`


<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`cert\`

* Default: null
* Type: null or String

A client certificate to pass when accessing the registry. Values should be
in PEM format (Windows calls it "Base-64 encoded X.509 (.CER)") with
newlines replaced by the string "\\n". For example:

\`\`\`ini
cert="-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\\nXXXX\\nXXXX\\n-----END CERTIFICATE-----"
\`\`\`

It is _not_ the path to a certificate file (and there is no "certfile"
option).

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`ci-name\`

* Default: The name of the current CI system, or \`null\` when not on a known CI
  platform.
* Type: null or String

The name of a continuous integration system. If not set explicitly, npm will
detect the current CI environment using the

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`cidr\`

* Default: null
* Type: null or String (can be set multiple times)

This is a list of CIDR address to be used when configuring limited access
tokens with the \`npm token create\` command.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`color\`

* Default: true unless the NO_COLOR environ is set to something other than '0'
* Type: "always" or Boolean

If false, never shows colors. If \`"always"\` then always shows colors. If
true, then only prints color codes for tty file descriptors.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`commit-hooks\`

* Default: true
* Type: Boolean

Run git commit hooks when using the \`npm version\` command.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`depth\`

* Default: \`Infinity\` if \`--all\` is set, otherwise \`1\`
* Type: null or Number

The depth to go when recursing packages for \`npm ls\`.

If not set, \`npm ls\` will show only the immediate dependencies of the root
project. If \`--all\` is set, then npm will show all dependencies by default.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`description\`

* Default: true

Ignore whitespace when comparing lines in \`npm diff\`.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`diff-name-only\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

Prints only filenames when using \`npm diff\`.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`diff-no-prefix\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

Do not show any source or destination prefix in \`npm diff\` output.

Note: this causes \`npm diff\` to ignore the \`--diff-src-prefix\` and
\`--diff-dst-prefix\` configs.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`diff-src-prefix\`

* Default: "a/"

<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`dry-run\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

Indicates that you don't want npm to make any changes and that it should
only report what it would have done. This can be passed into any of the
commands that modify your local installation, eg, \`install\`, \`update\`,
\`dedupe\`, \`uninstall\`, as well as \`pack\` and \`publish\`.

Note: This is NOT honored by other network related commands, eg \`dist-tags\`,
\`owner\`, etc.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`editor\`

* Default: The EDITOR or VISUAL environment variables, or 'notepad.exe' on
  Windows, or 'vim' on Unix systems

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`engine-strict\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

If set to true, then npm will stubbornly refuse to install (or even consider
installing) any package that claims to not be compatible with the current
Node.js version.

This can be overridden by setting the \`--force\` flag.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`fetch-retries\`

* Default: 2
* Type: Number

The "retries" config for the \`retry\` module to use when fetching packages
from the registry.

npm will retry idempotent read requests to the registry in the case of
network failures or 5xx HTTP errors.

<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`fetch-retry-factor\`

* Default: 10
* Type: Number

The "factor" config for the \`retry\` module to use when fetching packages.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`fetch-retry-maxtimeout\`

* Default: 60000 (1 minute)
* Type: Number

The "maxTimeout" config for the \`retry\` module to use when fetching
packages.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`fetch-retry-mintimeout\`

* Default: 10000 (10 seconds)
* Type: Number

The "minTimeout" config for the \`retry\` module to use when fetching
packages.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

* Allow \`npm audit fix\` to install modules outside your stated dependency
  range (including SemVer-major changes).
* Allow unpublishing all versions of a published package.
* Allow conflicting peerDependencies to be installed in the root project.
* Implicitly set \`--yes\` during \`npm init\`.
* Allow clobbering existing values in \`npm pkg\`

If you don't have a clear idea of what you want to do, it is strongly
recommended that you do not use this option!

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`foreground-scripts\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

Run all build scripts (ie, \`preinstall\`, \`install\`, and \`postinstall\`)
scripts for installed packages in the foreground process, sharing standard
input, output, and error with the main npm process.

Note that this will generally make installs run slower, and be much noisier,
but can be useful for debugging.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`format-package-lock\`

* Default: true
* Type: Boolean

Format \`package-lock.json\` or \`npm-shrinkwrap.json\` as a human readable
file.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`fund\`

* Type: Boolean

When "true" displays the message at the end of each \`npm install\`
acknowledging the number of dependencies looking for funding. See [\`npm
fund\`](/commands/npm-fund) for details.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`git\`

* Default: "git"
* Type: String

The command to use for git commands. If git is installed on the computer,
but is not in the \`PATH\`, then set this to the full path to the git binary.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`git-tag-version\`

* Default: true
* Type: Boolean

Tag the commit when using the \`npm version\` command.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`global\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

Operates in "global" mode, so that packages are installed into the \`prefix\`
folder instead of the current working directory. See
[folders](/configuring-npm/folders) for more on the differences in behavior.

* packages are installed into the \`{prefix}/lib/node_modules\` folder, instead
  of the current working directory.
* bin files are linked to \`{prefix}/bin\`
* man pages are linked to \`{prefix}/share/man\`

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`global-style\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

Causes npm to install the package into your local \`node_modules\` folder with
the same layout it uses with the global \`node_modules\` folder. Only your
direct dependencies will show in \`node_modules\` and everything they depend
on will be flattened in their \`node_modules\` folders. This obviously will
eliminate some deduping. If used with \`legacy-bundling\`, \`legacy-bundling\`
will be preferred.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`globalconfig\`

* Default: The global --prefix setting plus 'etc/npmrc'. For example,
  '/usr/local/etc/npmrc'

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`https-proxy\`

A proxy to use for outgoing https requests. If the \`HTTPS_PROXY\` or
\`https_proxy\` or \`HTTP_PROXY\` or \`http_proxy\` environment variables are set,
proxy settings will be honored by the underlying \`make-fetch-happen\`
library.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`if-present\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

If true, npm will not exit with an error code when \`run-script\` is invoked
for a script that isn't defined in the \`scripts\` section of \`package.json\`.
This option can be used when it's desirable to optionally run a script when
it's present and fail if the script fails. This is useful, for example, when
running scripts that may only apply for some builds in an otherwise generic
CI setup.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`ignore-scripts\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

If true, npm does not run scripts specified in package.json files.

Note that commands explicitly intended to run a particular script, such as
\`npm start\`, \`npm stop\`, \`npm restart\`, \`npm test\`, and \`npm run-script\`
will still run their intended script if \`ignore-scripts\` is set, but they
will *not* run any pre- or post-scripts.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`include\`

* Default:
* Type: "prod", "dev", "optional", or "peer" (can be set multiple times)

Option that allows for defining which types of dependencies to install.

This is the inverse of \`--omit=<type>\`.

Dependency types specified in \`--include\` will not be omitted, regardless of
the order in which omit/include are specified on the command-line.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`include-staged\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

Allow installing "staged" published packages, as defined by [npm RFC PR
#92](https://github.com/npm/rfcs/pull/92).

This is experimental, and not implemented by the npm public registry.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`include-workspace-root\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

Include the workspace root when workspaces are enabled for a command.

When false, specifying individual workspaces via the \`workspace\` config, or
all workspaces via the \`workspaces\` flag, will cause npm to operate only on
the specified workspaces, and not on the root project.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`init-author-email\`

* Default: ""
* Type: String

The value \`npm init\` should use by default for the package author's email.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`init-author-name\`

* Default: ""
* Type: String

The value \`npm init\` should use by default for the package author's name.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`init-author-url\`

* Default: ""
* Type: "" or URL

The value \`npm init\` should use by default for the package author's
homepage.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`init-license\`

* Default: "ISC"
* Type: String

The value \`npm init\` should use by default for the package license.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`init-module\`

* Default: "~/.npm-init.js"
* Type: Path

A module that will be loaded by the \`npm init\` command. See the
documentation for the
[init-package-json](https://github.com/npm/init-package-json) module for
more information, or [npm init](/commands/npm-init).

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`init-version\`

* Default: "1.0.0"
* Type: SemVer string

The value that \`npm init\` should use by default for the package version
number, if not already set in package.json.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`json\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

Whether or not to output JSON data, rather than the normal output.

* In \`npm pkg set\` it enables parsing set values with JSON.parse() before
  saving them to your \`package.json\`.

Not supported by all npm commands.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`key\`

* Default: null
* Type: null or String

A client key to pass when accessing the registry. Values should be in PEM
format with newlines replaced by the string "\\n". For example:

\`\`\`ini
key="-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\\nXXXX\\nXXXX\\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----"
\`\`\`

It is _not_ the path to a key file (and there is no "keyfile" option).

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`legacy-bundling\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

Causes npm to install the package such that versions of npm prior to 1.4,
such as the one included with node 0.8, can install the package. This
eliminates all automatic deduping. If used with \`global-style\` this option
will be preferred.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`legacy-peer-deps\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

Causes npm to completely ignore \`peerDependencies\` when building a package
tree, as in npm versions 3 through 6.

If a package cannot be installed because of overly strict \`peerDependencies\`
that collide, it provides a way to move forward resolving the situation.

This differs from \`--omit=peer\`, in that \`--omit=peer\` will avoid unpacking
\`peerDependencies\` on disk, but will still design a tree such that
\`peerDependencies\` _could_ be unpacked in a correct place.

Use of \`legacy-peer-deps\` is not recommended, as it will not enforce the
\`peerDependencies\` contract that meta-dependencies may rely on.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`link\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

Used with \`npm ls\`, limiting output to only those packages that are linked.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`local-address\`

* Default: null
* Type: IP Address

The IP address of the local interface to use when making connections to the
npm registry. Must be IPv4 in versions of Node prior to 0.12.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`location\`

* Default: "user" unless \`--global\` is passed, which will also set this value
  to "global"
* Type: "global", "user", or "project"

When passed to \`npm config\` this refers to which config file to use.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`lockfile-version\`

* Default: Version 2 if no lockfile or current lockfile version less than or
  equal to 2, otherwise maintain current lockfile version
* Type: null, 1, 2, 3, "1", "2", or "3"

Set the lockfile format version to be used in package-lock.json and
npm-shrinkwrap-json files. Possible options are:

1: The lockfile version used by npm versions 5 and 6. Lacks some data that
is used during the install, resulting in slower and possibly less
deterministic installs. Prevents lockfile churn when interoperating with
older npm versions.

2: The default lockfile version used by npm version 7. Includes both the
version 1 lockfile data and version 3 lockfile data, for maximum determinism
and interoperability, at the expense of more bytes on disk.

3: Only the new lockfile information introduced in npm version 7. Smaller on
disk than lockfile version 2, but not interoperable with older npm versions.
Ideal if all users are on npm version 7 and higher.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`loglevel\`

* Default: "notice"
* Type: "silent", "error", "warn", "notice", "http", "timing", "info",
  "verbose", or "silly"

What level of logs to report. All logs are written to a debug log, with the
path to that file printed if the execution of a command fails.

Any logs of a higher level than the setting are shown. The default is
"notice".

See also the \`foreground-scripts\` config.

* Default: 15
* Type: Number

The maximum number of connections to use per origin (protocol/host/port
combination).

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`message\`

* Default: "%s"
* Type: String

Commit message which is used by \`npm version\` when creating version commit.

<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`node-options\`

* Default: null
* Type: null or String

Options to pass through to Node.js via the \`NODE_OPTIONS\` environment

<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`offline\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

Force offline mode: no network requests will be done during install. To
allow the CLI to fill in missing cache data, see \`--prefer-offline\`.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`omit\`

* Default: 'dev' if the \`NODE_ENV\` environment variable is set to
  'production', otherwise empty.
* Type: "dev", "optional", or "peer" (can be set multiple times)

Dependency types to omit from the installation tree on disk.

Note that these dependencies _are_ still resolved and added to the
\`package-lock.json\` or \`npm-shrinkwrap.json\` file. They are just not
physically installed on disk.

If a package type appears in both the \`--include\` and \`--omit\` lists, then
it will be included.

If the resulting omit list includes \`'dev'\`, then the \`NODE_ENV\` environment
variable will be set to \`'production'\` for all lifecycle scripts.

<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`otp\`

* Default: null
* Type: null or String

This is a one-time password from a two-factor authenticator. It's needed
when publishing or changing package permissions with \`npm access\`.

If not set, and a registry response fails with a challenge for a one-time
password, npm will prompt on the command line for one.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`pack-destination\`

* Default: "."
* Type: String

Directory in which \`npm pack\` will save tarballs.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`package\`

* Default:
* Type: String (can be set multiple times)

The package to install for [\`npm exec\`](/commands/npm-exec)

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`package-lock\`

* Default: true
* Type: Boolean

If set to false, then ignore \`package-lock.json\` files when installing. This
will also prevent _writing_ \`package-lock.json\` if \`save\` is true.

When package package-locks are disabled, automatic pruning of extraneous
modules will also be disabled. To remove extraneous modules with
package-locks disabled use \`npm prune\`.

This configuration does not affect \`npm ci\`.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`package-lock-only\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

If set to true, the current operation will only use the \`package-lock.json\`,
ignoring \`node_modules\`.

For \`update\` this means only the \`package-lock.json\` will be updated,
instead of checking \`node_modules\` and downloading dependencies.

For \`list\` this means the output will be based on the tree described by the
\`package-lock.json\`, rather than the contents of \`node_modules\`.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`parseable\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

Output parseable results from commands that write to standard output. For
\`npm search\`, this will be tab-separated table format.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`prefer-offline\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

If true, staleness checks for cached data will be bypassed, but missing data
will be requested from the server. To force full offline mode, use
\`--offline\`.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`prefer-online\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

If true, staleness checks for cached data will be forced, making the CLI
look for updates immediately even for fresh package data.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`prefix\`

* Default: In global mode, the folder where the node executable is installed.
  In local mode, the nearest parent folder containing either a package.json
  file or a node_modules folder.
* Type: Path

The location to install global items. If set on the command line, then it
forces non-global commands to run in the specified folder.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`preid\`

* Default: ""
* Type: String

The "prerelease identifier" to use as a prefix for the "prerelease" part of
a semver. Like the \`rc\` in \`1.2.0-rc.8\`.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`progress\`

* Default: \`true\` unless running in a known CI system
* Type: Boolean

When set to \`true\`, npm will display a progress bar during time intensive
operations, if \`process.stderr\` is a TTY.

Set to \`false\` to suppress the progress bar.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`proxy\`

* Default: null
* Type: null, false, or URL

A proxy to use for outgoing http requests. If the \`HTTP_PROXY\` or
\`http_proxy\` environment variables are set, proxy settings will be honored
by the underlying \`request\` library.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`read-only\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

This is used to mark a token as unable to publish when configuring limited
access tokens with the \`npm token create\` command.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`rebuild-bundle\`

* Default: true
* Type: Boolean

Rebuild bundled dependencies after installation.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`registry\`

* Default: "https://registry.npmjs.org/"
* Type: URL

The base URL of the npm registry.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`save\`

* Default: \`true\` unless when using \`npm update\` or \`npm dedupe\` where it
  defaults to \`false\`
* Type: Boolean

Save installed packages to a \`package.json\` file as dependencies.

When used with the \`npm rm\` command, removes the dependency from
\`package.json\`.

Will also prevent writing to \`package-lock.json\` if set to \`false\`.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`save-bundle\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

If a package would be saved at install time by the use of \`--save\`,
\`--save-dev\`, or \`--save-optional\`, then also put it in the
\`bundleDependencies\` list.

Ignored if \`--save-peer\` is set, since peerDependencies cannot be bundled.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`save-dev\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

Save installed packages to a package.json file as \`devDependencies\`.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`save-exact\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

Dependencies saved to package.json will be configured with an exact version
rather than using npm's default semver range operator.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`save-optional\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

Save installed packages to a package.json file as \`optionalDependencies\`.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`save-peer\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

Save installed packages to a package.json file as \`peerDependencies\`

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`save-prefix\`

* Default: "^"
* Type: String

Configure how versions of packages installed to a package.json file via
\`--save\` or \`--save-dev\` get prefixed.

For example if a package has version \`1.2.3\`, by default its version is set
to \`^1.2.3\` which allows minor upgrades for that package, but after \`npm
config set save-prefix='~'\` it would be set to \`~1.2.3\` which only allows
patch upgrades.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`save-prod\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

Save installed packages into \`dependencies\` specifically. This is useful if
a package already exists in \`devDependencies\` or \`optionalDependencies\`, but
you want to move it to be a non-optional production dependency.

This is the default behavior if \`--save\` is true, and neither \`--save-dev\`
or \`--save-optional\` are true.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`scope\`

* Default: the scope of the current project, if any, or ""
* Type: String

Associate an operation with a scope for a scoped registry.

Useful when logging in to or out of a private registry:

\`\`\`
# log in, linking the scope to the custom registry
npm login --scope=@mycorp --registry=https://registry.mycorp.com

# log out, removing the link and the auth token
npm logout --scope=@mycorp
\`\`\`

This will cause \`@mycorp\` to be mapped to the registry for future
installation of packages specified according to the pattern
\`@mycorp/package\`.

This will also cause \`npm init\` to create a scoped package.

\`\`\`
# accept all defaults, and create a package named "@foo/whatever",
# instead of just named "whatever"
npm init --scope=@foo --yes
\`\`\`


<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`script-shell\`

* Default: '/bin/sh' on POSIX systems, 'cmd.exe' on Windows
* Type: null or String

using legacy search endpoint.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`shell\`

* Default: SHELL environment variable, or "bash" on Posix, or "cmd.exe" on
  Windows
* Type: String

The shell to run for the \`npm explore\` command.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`sign-git-commit\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

If set to true, then the \`npm version\` command will commit the new package
version using \`-S\` to add a signature.

Note that git requires you to have set up GPG keys in your git configs for
this to work properly.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`sign-git-tag\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

If set to true, then the \`npm version\` command will tag the version using
\`-s\` to add a signature.

Note that git requires you to have set up GPG keys in your git configs for
this to work properly.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`strict-peer-deps\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

If set to \`true\`, and \`--legacy-peer-deps\` is not set, then _any_
conflicting \`peerDependencies\` will be treated as an install failure, even
if npm could reasonably guess the appropriate resolution based on non-peer
dependency relationships.

By default, conflicting \`peerDependencies\` deep in the dependency graph will
be resolved using the nearest non-peer dependency specification, even if
doing so will result in some packages receiving a peer dependency outside
the range set in their package's \`peerDependencies\` object.

When such and override is performed, a warning is printed, explaining the
conflict and the packages involved. If \`--strict-peer-deps\` is set, then
this warning is treated as a failure.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`strict-ssl\`

* Default: true
* Type: Boolean

Whether or not to do SSL key validation when making requests to the registry
via https.

See also the \`ca\` config.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`tag\`

* Default: "latest"
* Type: String

If you ask npm to install a package and don't tell it a specific version,
then it will install the specified tag.

Also the tag that is added to the package@version specified by the \`npm tag\`
command, if no explicit tag is given.

When used by the \`npm diff\` command, this is the tag used to fetch the
tarball that will be compared with the local files by default.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`tag-version-prefix\`

* Default: "v"
* Type: String

If set, alters the prefix used when tagging a new version when performing a
version increment using \`npm-version\`. To remove the prefix altogether, set
it to the empty string: \`""\`.

Because other tools may rely on the convention that npm version tags look
like \`v1.0.0\`, _only use this property if it is absolutely necessary_. In
particular, use care when overriding this setting for public packages.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`timing\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

If true, writes an \`npm-debug\` log to \`_logs\` and timing information to
\`_timing.json\`, both in your cache, even if the command completes
successfully. \`_timing.json\` is a newline delimited list of JSON objects.

You can quickly view it with this [json](https://npm.im/json) command line:
\`npm exec -- json -g < ~/.npm/_timing.json\`.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`umask\`

* Default: 0
* Type: Octal numeric string in range 0000..0777 (0..511)

The "umask" value to use when setting the file creation mode on files and
folders.

Folders and executables are given a mode which is \`0o777\` masked against
this value. Other files are given a mode which is \`0o666\` masked against
this value.

Note that the underlying system will _also_ apply its own umask value to
files and folders that are created, and npm does not circumvent this, but
rather adds the \`--umask\` config to it.

Thus, the effective default umask value on most POSIX systems is 0o22,
meaning that folders and executables are created with a mode of 0o755 and
other files are created with a mode of 0o644.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`unicode\`

* Default: false on windows, true on mac/unix systems with a unicode locale,
  as defined by the \`LC_ALL\`, \`LC_CTYPE\`, or \`LANG\` environment variables.
* Type: Boolean

When set to true, npm uses unicode characters in the tree output. When
false, it uses ascii characters instead of unicode glyphs.

<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`update-notifier\`

* Default: true
* Type: Boolean

Set to false to suppress the update notification when using an older version

* Default: "npm/{npm-version} node/{node-version} {platform} {arch}
  workspaces/{workspaces} {ci}"
* Type: String

Sets the User-Agent request header. The following fields are replaced with
their actual counterparts:

* \`{npm-version}\` - The npm version in use
* \`{node-version}\` - The Node.js version in use
* \`{platform}\` - The value of \`process.platform\`
* \`{arch}\` - The value of \`process.arch\`
* \`{workspaces}\` - Set to \`true\` if the \`workspaces\` or \`workspace\` options
  are set.
* \`{ci}\` - The value of the \`ci-name\` config, if set, prefixed with \`ci/\`, or
  an empty string if \`ci-name\` is empty.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`userconfig\`

* Default: "~/.npmrc"
* Type: Path

The location of user-level configuration settings.

This may be overridden by the \`npm_config_userconfig\` environment variable
or the \`--userconfig\` command line option, but may _not_ be overridden by
settings in the \`globalconfig\` file.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`version\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

If true, output the npm version and exit successfully.

<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`versions\`

* Default: false
* Type: Boolean

If true, output the npm version as well as node's \`process.versions\` map and
the version in the current working directory's \`package.json\` file if one
exists, and exit successfully.

#### \`workspace\`

* Default:
* Type: String (can be set multiple times)

Enable running a command in the context of the configured workspaces of the
current project while filtering by running only the workspaces defined by
this configuration option.

Valid values for the \`workspace\` config are either:

* Workspace names
* Path to a workspace directory
* Path to a parent workspace directory (will result in selecting all
  workspaces within that folder)

When set for the \`npm init\` command, this may be set to the folder of a
workspace which does not yet exist, to create the folder and set it up as a
brand new workspace within the project.

This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

#### \`workspaces\`

* Default: null
* Type: null or Boolean

Set to true to run the command in the context of **all** configured
workspaces.

Explicitly setting this to false will cause commands like \`install\` to
ignore workspaces altogether. When not set explicitly:

- Commands that operate on the \`node_modules\` tree (install, update, etc.)
will link workspaces into the \`node_modules\` folder. - Commands that do
other things (test, exec, publish, etc.) will operate on the root project,
_unless_ one or more workspaces are specified in the \`workspace\` config.

This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.

<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
