npm/Yarn: Replace domestic repository mirror source address

Introduction#

npm and yarn change the default download repository center address, you must set it or it will be painfully slow.

Generally, the mirror site provided by the Taobao team is used: https://npmmirror.com.

Automated Source Switching Settings#

It is recommended to use the open-source tool chsrc for automatic settings.

Steps:

Download the executable file for your operating system from the Releases page. I am using Windows, so I downloaded chsrc-x64-windows.exe.
Then open the terminal and execute chsrc-x64-windows.exe list to see the software that supports source switching, etc.
Since we are using nodejs, execute chsrc-x64-windows.exe set nodejs in the terminal, and then wait for it to complete; this process is automatic.
