PIP-CONFIG(1)                         pip                        PIP-CONFIG(1)

NAME
       pip-config - description of pip config command

DESCRIPTION
       Manage local and global configuration.

       Subcommands:

       o list: List the active configuration (or from the file specified)

       o edit: Edit the configuration file in an editor

       o get: Get the value associated with command.option

       o set: Set the command.option=value

       o unset: Unset the value associated with command.option

       o debug: List the configuration files and values defined under them

       Configuration keys should be dot separated command and option name,
       with the special prefix "global" affecting any command. For example,
       "pip config set global.index-url <https://example.org/>" would
       configure the index url for all commands, but "pip config set
       download.timeout 10" would configure a 10 second timeout only for "pip
       download" commands.

       If none of --user, --global and --site are passed, a virtual
       environment configuration file is used if one is active and the file
       exists. Otherwise, all modifications happen to the user file by
       default.
