+npm-dist-tag(1) -- Modify package distribution tags
+===================================================
+
+## SYNOPSIS
+
+    npm dist-tag add <pkg>@<version> [<tag>]
+    npm dist-tag rm <pkg> <tag>
+    npm dist-tag ls [<pkg>]
+
+    aliases: dist-tags
+
+## DESCRIPTION
+
+Add, remove, and enumerate distribution tags on a package:
+
+* add:
+  Tags the specified version of the package with the specified tag, or the
+  `--tag` config if not specified. If you have two-factor authentication on
+  auth-and-writes then you’ll need to include a one-time password on the
+  command line with `--otp <one-time password>`.
+
+* rm:
+  Clear a tag that is no longer in use from the package.
+
+* ls:
+  Show all of the dist-tags for a package, defaulting to the package in
+  the current prefix.
+
+  This is the default action if none is specified.
+
+A tag can be used when installing packages as a reference to a version instead
+of using a specific version number:
+
+    npm install <name>@<tag>
+
+When installing dependencies, a preferred tagged version may be specified:
+
+    npm install --tag <tag>
+
+This also applies to `npm dedupe`.
+
+Publishing a package sets the `latest` tag to the published version unless the
+`--tag` option is used. For example, `npm publish --tag=beta`.
+
+By default, `npm install <pkg>` (without any `@<version>` or `@<tag>`
+specifier) installs the `latest` tag.
+
+## PURPOSE
+
+Tags can be used to provide an alias instead of version numbers.
+
+For example, a project might choose to have multiple streams of development
+and use a different tag for each stream,
+e.g., `stable`, `beta`, `dev`, `canary`.
+
+By default, the `latest` tag is used by npm to identify the current version of
+a package, and `npm install <pkg>` (without any `@<version>` or `@<tag>`
+specifier) installs the `latest` tag. Typically, projects only use the `latest`
+tag for stable release versions, and use other tags for unstable versions such
+as prereleases.
+
+The `next` tag is used by some projects to identify the upcoming version.
+
+By default, other than `latest`, no tag has any special significance to npm
+itself.
+
+## CAVEATS
+
+This command used to be known as `npm tag`, which only created new tags, and so
+had a different syntax.
+
+Tags must share a namespace with version numbers, because they are specified in
+the same slot: `npm install <pkg>@<version>` vs `npm install <pkg>@<tag>`.
+
+Tags that can be interpreted as valid semver ranges will be rejected. For
+example, `v1.4` cannot be used as a tag, because it is interpreted by semver as
+`>=1.4.0 <1.5.0`.  See <https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/6082>.
+
+The simplest way to avoid semver problems with tags is to use tags that do not
+begin with a number or the letter `v`.
