.nf
# log in, linking the scope to the custom registry
npm login \-\-scope=@mycorp \-\-registry=https://registry\.mycorp\.com

# log out, removing the link and the auth token
npm logout \-\-scope=@mycorp
.fi

installation of packages specified according to the pattern
\fB@mycorp/package\fP\|\.

.P
.RS 2
.nf
# accept all defaults, and create a package named "@foo/whatever",
# instead of just named "whatever"
npm init \-\-scope=@foo \-\-yes
