'Why is Npm modifying package-lock.json?

I’ve got the lock file under Git. After performing several Npm commands, the lock file gets modified - a bunch of new packages get added to it. The commands are:

  • npm config -g set ...
  • npm install -g ...
  • npm run test

That’s it. No new packages are added to the project, package.json is untouched. Why would the lock file change please?

npm
