NPM-HELP(1)

NAME
npm-help - Get help on npm

  Synopsis

    npm help <term> [<terms..>]

Note: This command is unaware of workspaces.

  Description

If supplied a topic, then show the appropriate documentation page.

If the topic does not exist, or if multiple terms are provided, then npm will run the help-search command to find a match. Note that, if help-search finds a single subject, then it will run help on that topic, so unique matches are equivalent to specifying a topic name.
