## What it is
HubCommander is a user-extendable Slack bot for chat-ops style GitHub organization management, letting users perform privileged tasks like repo creation and collaborator management without granting owner rights. It is built in Python on python-rtmbot and supports custom command plugins and Duo 2FA safeguards.

## Use cases
- manage github organization via slack
- create and delete repos from chat
- grant outside collaborators repo permissions without owner access
- enable travis ci on a repo through chatops
- add two-factor approval to privileged github commands
- extend a slack bot with custom commands via plugins

## When to choose
- your team uses Slack and wants chat-ops for GitHub org administration
- you want to delegate privileged GitHub tasks without distributing owner privileges
- you need a Python, plugin-extendable Slack bot with 2FA safeguards

## When to avoid
- you don't use Slack or GitHub
- you need a modern Slack Events/API integration rather than the legacy RTM-based python-rtmbot dependency
- you want a hosted SaaS solution with no self-hosting
