```
Add a hook to watch packages belonging to the user `substack`:

```bash
$ npm hook rm id-deadbeef
```
### Description
Allows you to manage [npm hooks](https://blog.npmjs.org/post/145260155635/introducing-hooks-get-notifications-of-npm),
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.
