npmrc
=====
Switch between different .npmrc files with ease and grace.
Overview
--------
If you use a private npm registry, you know the pain of switching between a
bunch of different .npmrc files and manually managing symlinks. Let that be a
problem no more! `npmrc` is here to save the day, by making it dead simple to
switch out your .npmrc with a specific named version. It also tries to protect
you from your own stupid self by making sure you don't accidentally overwrite an
.npmrc that you actually want to keep.
Installation
------------
``` sh
npm install -g npmrc
```
Usage
-----
```
➜ ~ npmrc --help
npmrc
Switch between different .npmrc files with ease and grace.
Usage:
npmrc list all profiles
npmrc [name] change npmrc profile (uses fuzzy matching)
npmrc -c [name] create a new npmrc profile called name
npmrc -r [registry] use an npm mirror
Available mirrors for npmrc -r:
au - Australian registry mirror
eu - European registry mirror
cn - Chinese registry mirror
default - Default registry
```
#### Initialisation
Calling `npmrc` without arguments creates an `~/.npmrcs/` directory if it doesn't exist,
and copies your current `~/.npmrc` as the 'default' .npmrc profile.
```
➜ ~ npmrc
Creating /Users/conrad/.npmrcs
Making /Users/conrad/.npmrc the default npmrc file
Activating .npmrc 'default'
```
#### Create a new .npmrc profile
```
➜ ~ npmrc -c newprofile
Removing old .npmrc (/home/rvagg/.npmrcs/default)
Activating .npmrc 'newprofile'
```
A blank profile will be created. To point your profile to a non-default registry:
```
➜ ~ npm config set registry http://npm.nodejs.org.au:5984/registry/_design/app/_rewrite
```
Then use `npm adduser` or `npm login` to authenticate with the new profile.
#### List available .npmrc profiles
```
➜ ~ npmrc
Available npmrcs:
* default
work
```
#### Switch to a specific .npmrc
```
➜ ~ npmrc work
Removing old .npmrc (/Users/conrad/.npmrcs/default)
Activating .npmrc 'work'
```
You can also pass only the first few characters of a profile and `npmrc` will
autocomplete the profile's name.
```
➜ ~ npmrc def
Removing old .npmrc (/Users/conrad/.npmrcs/work)
Activating .npmrc 'default'
```
`npmrc <name>` will also go to some lengths to make sure you don't overwrite
anything you might care about:
```
➜ ~ npmrc default
Removing old .npmrc (/Users/conrad/.npmrcs/work)
Activating .npmrc 'default'
➜ ~ npmrc default
Current .npmrc (/Users/conrad/.npmrc) is already 'default' (/Users/conrad/.npmrcs/default)
➜ ~ rm ~/.npmrc
➜ ~ touch ~/.npmrc
➜ ~ npmrc default
Current .npmrc (/Users/conrad/.npmrc) is not a regular file, not removing it
➜ ~ rm ~/.npmrc
➜ ~ npmrc default
Activating .npmrc 'default'
```
Note For Windows Users
----------------------
You may have to run npmrc in a shell (cmd, PowerShell, Git Bash, etc) with
elevated (Administrative) privileges to get it to run.
Environment Variables
---------------------
* `NPMRC_STORE` - Path to directory of profiles. Default: `~/.npmrcs/`
* `NPMRC` - Path to the npmrc file used by npm. Default: `~/.npmrc`
Known npm registry Mirrors
---------------------
For your convenience, you can change registries easily using the `-r`
flag. Currently we provide aliases for:
* [Australia](http://registry.npmjs.org.au/): `npmrc -r au`
* [Europe](http://registry.npmjs.eu/): `npmrc -r eu`
* [China](http://r.cnpmjs.org): `npmrc -r cn`
#### Switching registry example
```
➜ ~ npm -r eu
Using eu registry
➜ ~ npm info npmrc
npm http GET http://registry.npmjs.eu/npmrc
^C
➜ ~ npm -r default
Using default registry
➜ ~ npm info npmrc
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/npmrc
^C
