Configuration

You can set various environment variables to tune up the behavior of this help plugin:

• HUBOT_HELP_DISABLE_HTTP (set to any value) will disable the web interface for help
• HUBOT_HELP_HIDDEN_COMMANDS comma-separated list of commands that will not be displayed in help

Hidden Commands

When setting hidden commands, the environment variable array will remove an commands matching ^value The effect of this will remove any commands starting "value", for example:

[he] will remove any commands from the help list beginning with "he" including help and hubot help
