How to specify registry while doing npm install with git remote url?

Question

I want to be able to clone a git repository using a URL as specified here

://[[:]@][:&l         


        

Answer 1

npm gets its config settings from the command line, environment variables, and npmrc files. You can try to specify registry in a npmrc file, and module in the command line. To change registry, you can use command:

npm config set registry <registry url>

You can also change configs with the help of -- argument. Putting --foo bar on the command line sets the foo configuration parameter to "bar". So you can try something like that:

 npm install http://git.repo.url --registry=https://your.registry.local/

Answer 2

Not the best way but If you are using mac or linux even in you can set alias for different registries.
