💅 npm-unstar(1) — the un-starring manual, bestie edition

Okay so this is the npm-unstar page from the npm manual (section 1, if you're keeping track 🎀) — the glow-down command. Star a package's time is over, we're removing it from the faves list. Let's go. ✨

🦋 NAME

npm-unstar — remove an item from your favorite packages

🌸 Synopsis

npm unstar [<package-spec>...]
Lowkey important: this command is unaware of workspaces. It's giving lone wolf energy, no workspace drama. 💀

🎀 Description

So "unstarring" a package is literally the exact opposite of npm help star — it removes an item from your list of favorite packages. That's it. That's the whole vibe check. ✨

🧚 More

There's also these extra commands to help you manage your favorite packages, bestie — a whole little faves ecosystem 🫶

⭐ Star

You can "star" a package using npm help star.

📋 Listing stars

You can see all your starred packages using npm help stars.

💜 Configuration

🔥 registry

The base URL of the npm registry.

🌈 unicode

  • Default: false on windows, true on mac/unix systems with a unicode locale, as defined by the LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, or LANG environment variables.
  • Type: Boolean

When set to true, npm uses unicode characters in the tree output. When false, it uses ascii characters instead of unicode glyphs. (So it's giving pretty tree 🌳 vs. plain little sticks.)

🔐 otp

  • Default: null
  • Type: null or String

This is a one-time password from a two-factor authenticator. It's needed when publishing or changing package permissions with npm access. Seriously, no cap — that's when it matters.

If not set, and a registry response fails with a challenge for a one-time password, npm will prompt on the command line for one. So it's got you, it'll ask. 🙈
