###
Description

Allows you to manage npm hooks, including adding, removing, listing, and updating.

Hooks allow you to configure URL endpoints that will be notified whenever a change happens to any of the supported entity types. Three different types of entities can be watched by hooks: packages, owners, and scopes.

To create a package hook, simply reference the package name.

To create an owner hook, prefix the owner name with `~` (as in, `~youruser`).

To create a scope hook, prefix the scope name with `@` (as in, `@yourscope`).

The hook `id` used by `update` and `rm` are the IDs listed in `npm hook ls` for that particular hook.

The shared secret will be sent along to the URL endpoint so you can verify the request came from your own configured hook.
