Note: This command is unaware of workspaces.
### Description
"Starring" a package means that you have some interest in it. It's
a vaguely positive way to show that you care.
It's a boolean thing. Starring repeatedly has no additional effect.
### More
There's also these extra commands to help you manage your favorite packages:
#### Unstar
You can also "unstar" a package using [`npm unstar`](/commands/npm-unstar)
"Unstarring" is the same thing, but in reverse.
#### Listing stars
You can see all your starred packages using [`npm stars`](/commands/npm-stars)
### Configuration
<!-- AUTOGENERATED CONFIG DESCRIPTIONS START -->
<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
#### `registry`
* Default: "https://registry.npmjs.org/"
* Type: URL
The base URL of the npm registry.
<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
#### `unicode`
* Default: false on windows, true on mac/unix systems with a unicode locale,
as defined by the `LC_ALL`, `LC_CTYPE`, or `LANG` environment variables.
* Type: Boolean
When set to true, npm uses unicode characters in the tree output. When
false, it uses ascii characters instead of unicode glyphs.
<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
#### `otp`
* Default: null
* Type: null or String
This is a one-time password from a two-factor authenticator. It's needed
when publishing or changing package permissions with `npm access`.
If not set, and a registry response fails with a challenge for a one-time
password, npm will prompt on the command line for one.
