### Synopsis

```bash
npm whoami [--registry <registry>]
```

Note: This command is unaware of workspaces.

### Description

Display the npm username of the currently logged-in user.

If logged into a registry that provides token-based authentication, then
connect to the `/-/whoami` registry endpoint to find the username
associated with the token, and print to standard output.

If logged into a registry that uses Basic Auth, then simply print the
`username` portion of the authentication string.
