NAME

       pip3-config - description of pip3 config command

DESCRIPTION

       Manage local and global configuration.

       Subcommands:

       • list: List the active configuration (or from the file specified)

       • edit: Edit the configuration file in an editor

       • get: Get the value associated with command.option

       • set: Set the command.option=value

       • unset: Unset the value associated with command.option

       • debug: List the configuration files and values defined under them

       Configuration  keys  should  be  dot  separated command and option name, with the special prefix "global"
       affecting any  command.  For  example,  "pip  config  set  global.index-url  https://example.org/"  would
       configure  the  index url for all commands, but "pip config set download.timeout 10" would configure a 10
       second timeout only for "pip download" commands.

       If none of --user, --global and --site are passed, a virtual environment configuration file  is  used  if
       one is active and the file exists. Otherwise, all modifications happen to the user file by default.
