Options:

--version show version information [boolean]
Help is available for each of the supported commands.
You may also do fun things like wombat ls --depth=0 and npm will be invoked.
Wombat reads its config from the file ~/.wombatrc. This file is parsed as TOML. The defaults look like this:
[default]
registry = "https://registry.npmjs.org"
api = "https://registry.npmjs.org/-/npm"
You can add sections for other registries to talk to and point wombat to them using the name of the config section, or change the default to a registry you use more often. For example:
[default]
registry = "https://registry.npmjs.org"
api = "https://registry.npmjs.org/-/npm"
[enterprise]
registry = "https://npm-enterprise.private.npmjs.com"
api = "https://api.private.npmjs.com"
Then run something like wombat -r enterprise package @secret/private-package
wombat hook
Commands:
ls [pkg] list your hooks
add <pkg> <url> <secret> add a hook to the named package
update <id> <url> [secret] update an existing hook

wombat hook add lodash https://example.com/webhook my-shared-secret
wombat hook ls lodash
wombat hook ls --json
