Exit Back Out of Private NPM Repo

So... I know this is probably a stupid question but I can't seem to find the info anywhere and I figure I can't be the first to ask..

I have been using my companies internally hosted NPM Repo for so long I've forgotten how to get OUT of it and switch back to the public one for a personal project I'm working on...

Cookie to the first person to tell me how.

Solution

  • You no longer have to choose between one and the other. If you update to a recent npm (latest is 2.6.0), then you can store credentials for multiple repositories in your .npmrc file.

    You can switch between registries with the --registry command line option:

    npm --registry https://registry.npmjs.org/ install jshint npm --registry https://registry.npmjs.org/ publish

    etc.

    You can then set up publishConfig settings in your package.json to record which packages should be published to which repository. See https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package.json#publishconfig
