npm config not being updated inside the same npm script

Let's say I have this npm script:

"test": "npm config set email [email protected] && npm config get email"

After running npm run test I don't see email updated.

Similarly if create bash script like so:

npm config set email [email protected]
npm config get email

and add it to npm script, it still works the same way.

This might be a bash issue, I'm a very new to bash. Is there a way to make it work - meaning to set the config values and use them in the script?

I think the issue is a bit more complicated. Consider this:

c:\cygwin64\home\qbolec\baro>npm config set email [email protected]

c:\cygwin64\home\qbolec\baro>npm run test

> [email protected] test c:\cygwin64\home\qbolec\baro
> echo 'before'&& grep '^email' /cygdrive/c/Users/qbolec/.npmrc&& npm config set email [email protected]&& echo 'after'&& grep '^email' /cygdrive/c/Users/qbolec/.npmrc&& echo 'get'&& npm config get email

'before'
[email protected]
[email protected]
'after'
[email protected]
[email protected]
'get'
[email protected]

c:\cygwin64\home\qbolec\baro>npm config get email
[email protected]

c:\cygwin64\home\qbolec\baro>cat package.json
{
  "name": "baro",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo 'before'&& grep '^email' /cygdrive/c/Users/qbolec/.npmrc&& npm config set email [email protected]&& echo 'after'&& grep '^email' /cygdrive/c/Users/qbolec/.npmrc&& echo 'get'&& npm config get email"

  },
  "author": "Jakub Łopuszański <[email protected]>",
  "license": "ISC"
}

It looks like the .npmrc file is actually changed by the npm config set immediately, and the change is permanent, but not available for reading through npm config get. However, I don't know how to overcome this.
