💖 NAME 💖

npm-whoami — bestie, this one literally just tells you your npm username 👑✨

✨ Synopsis ✨

npm whoami

Heads up queen 🫶 — Note: This command is unaware of workspaces. So don't come for it about your monorepo, it simply does not see them 💀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so picture this: you need to know who you're logged in as. That's the whole vibe. npm-whoami displays the npm username of the currently logged-in user 💅

But the way it does it is lowkey iconic and depends on how your registry rolls:

• If you're logged into a registry that provides token-based authentication, then it connects to the /-/whoami registry endpoint to find the username associated with the token, and prints it to standard output 🎀
• If you're logged into a registry that uses Basic Auth, then it simply prints the username portion of the authentication string. Simple. Elegant. Ate. 🔥

🎀 CONFIGURATION 🎀
