npm publish wants to publish only to npm repository - npm

Question

I am using VSTS as NPM private repo but if I want to do npm publish always want's to publish not to my private repo but to the npm public repo.
I have installed
npm install -g vsts-npm-auth --registry https://registry.npmjs.com --always-auth false
Than i have done this:
vsts-npm-auth -config .npmrc
And my .npmrc file contains this
registry=https://myhost/_packaging/myfeed/npm/registry/
always-auth=true
I also used
"publishConfig": {
"registry": "https://myhost/_packaging/myfeed/npm/registry/"
},
To ovverride the registry but without success. It always want's to publish to the npm repo

Answer 1

ok clearing the .npmrc file in my home folder and rerun vsts-npm-auth -config .npmrc folder solves the problem. Thanks to #starain-MSFT for his hint.
