PIP3-CONFIG(1) pip PIP3-CONFIG(1)
NAME
pip3-config - description of pip3 config command
DESCRIPTION
Manage local and global configuration.
Subcommands:
• list: List the active configuration (or from the file specified)
• edit: Edit the configuration file in an editor
• get: Get the value associated with command.option
• set: Set the command.option=value
• unset: Unset the value associated with command.option
• 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 ]8;;https://example.org/\https://example.org/]8;;\" 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. Other-
wise, all modifications happen to the user file by default.
