Alternative methods for changing regestiry

Add .npmrc

You can easily add .npmrc to your projects and define your new registery like below:

registry = [Your repository address]

This methods works for both npm and yarn but you have to add this file to all of your projects so it maybe little troublesome.

Set global registery

So you can set your default registery for npm with below command:

npm config set registry https://registry.your-registry.npme.io/

and also you can do one of these methods for yarn.

yarn config set registry <url-to-your-registry>

Verify that it has been set by typing the following command:

yarn config get registry

For a one-off change in registry you can use the variable YARN_REGISTRY like this:

YARN_REGISTRY="<url-to-your-registry>" yarn config get registry

So what is a downside of this method?

In my opinion you have to remember that you have changed your default registery and in case you wan't to publish a library or package to npm you need to overide this registery. more info

Use nrm or yrm

use nrm or yrm that give you some choices of registery and change your default one.

install commands:

npm install -g yrm

$ npm install -g nrm
