NodeNanny

NodeNanny is a friendly CLI tool designed to help you quickly configure your Node.js environment by setting up npm, Yarn, and npx. It allows you to easily specify author information, configure proxies, and check the current configuration of your tools.

Features

• Set Author Information: Configure your name and email for npm and Yarn.
• Proxy Setup: Easily set HTTP and HTTPS proxy settings for npm and Yarn.
• Configuration Check: Verify the current configuration of npm, Yarn, and npx.
• Automatic Detection: NodeNanny checks whether npm, Yarn, or npx are installed and adjusts accordingly.

Installation

To install NodeNanny globally, use npm:

npm install -g nodenanny

This command will make the nodenanny CLI available globally.

Basic Commands
