How do I ignore a local .npmrc config file while running npm install?
Is there a command like npm install --ignore-local-rc or something similar? I feel this can be useful for situations where you want to pull packages from the public npm registry by-passing the private registries specified.
You can use --userconfig or --globalconfig to bypass the local user config file or global config file respectively. I don't think there is a way to bypass a project .npmrc with a command-line flag. Using --userconfig=/dev/null should bypass the userconfig (on Linux and other UNIX-like operating systems).
For situations where you need to bypass only the registry setting, you can use the --reg or --registry command line flags, or set an npm_config_registry environment variable.
