What everybody should know about npm
summary
Ecosystem stats land hard: 4 million users, a billion package downloads every week and about 80% newcomers in the last year, so practical defaults matter. npm3 is claimed faster and more reliable; the CLI uses a local cache and CDN, cachemin defaults to 10s, and unpublish gets a 24-hour soft window. Useful, concrete commands include npm init, npm install --save, npm link, shrinkwrap, npmrc, run scripts and lifecycle hooks; third‑party tools: Babel, Webpack, GreenKeeper, NSP.
