How to specify registry while doing npm install with git remote url?

I want to be able to clone a git repository using a URL as specified here 

<protocol>://[<user>[:<password>]@]<hostname>[:<port>][:][/]<path>[#<commit-ish>]

I am getting an error saying

npm ERR! 404 Registry returned 404 for GET on https://registry.npmjs.org/XYZ

So I should also be able to specify the registry while doing since modules are supposed to be picked up from a internal repository.

Is it possible to specify registry while doing npm install with git remote url?

Yes, you need to use:

npm config set registry <registry url>.

to make sure you install your package from the registry inside your company.

If you are doing npm -i -g, this is to install globally.

you need to do:

npm -g config set registry <registry url>

npm gets its config settings from the command line, environment variables, and npmrc files. You can try to specify registry in a npmrc file, and module in the command line. To change registry, you can use command:

npm config set registry <registry url>

You can also change configs with the help of -- argument. Putting --foo bar on the command line sets the foo configuration parameter to "bar". So you can try something like that:

 npm install http://git.repo.url --registry=https://your.registry.local/

Not the best way but If you are using mac or linux even in you can set alias for different registries.
