Easy way to achieve it!!!

Our first step is to create npmrc profiles for each registry.

Example: Creating 2 profiles personal and work

npx npmrc -c personal
npx npmrc -c work

To view the profiles which are created, use the below command to list them.

npx npmrc

Next step to set the registry for each profile.

  1. Switch to personal profile and set the registry

     npx npmrc personal
    
     npm config set registry https://registry.example1.com
    
  2. Switch to work profile and set the registry

     npx npmrc personal
    
     npm config set registry https://registry.example2.com
    

That's it. You can switch between the profiles simply using the below command:

npx npmrc <profile_name>

Note: You can get the registry url which is used in the current profile by using the below command:

npm config get registry
