How to restore/reset npm configuration to default values?

To reset user defaults

Run this in the command line (or git bash on windows):

echo "" > $(npm config get userconfig)
npm config edit

To reset global defaults

echo "" > $(npm config get globalconfig)
npm config --global edit

If you need sudo then run this instead:

sudo sh -c 'echo "" > $(npm config get globalconfig)'
