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/) 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.   Options(Link to this heading) ¶    --editor  <editor>  (Link to this definition) ¶  Editor to use to edit the file. Uses VISUAL or EDITOR environment variables if not provided. (environment variable: PIP_EDITOR  )    --global   (Link to this definition) ¶  Use the system-wide configuration file only (environment variable: PIP_GLOBAL  )    --user   (Link to this definition) ¶  Use the user configuration file only (environment variable: PIP_USER  )    --site   (Link to this definition) ¶  Use the current environment configuration file only (environment variable: PIP_SITE  )        (../pip_debug/) Next  pip debug     (../pip_cache/)   Previous  pip cache    (../../copyright/) Copyright © The pip developers  Made with (https://www.sphinx-doc.org/) Sphinx and (https://pradyunsg.me) @pradyunsg 's (https://github.com/pradyunsg/furo) Furo  (https://readthedocs.org/projects/pip)    (https://github.com/pypa/pip)         On this page   pip config Usage  Description  Options
