npm short for Node Package Manager, is a cli tool for managing node dependencies

~/.npm is the npm cache directory. See: https://docs.npmjs.com/files/folders#cache

~/.npm-global is where dependencies that are available system-wide are stored. See: https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/installing-npm-packages-globally
