There are quite a few variants of this, but here are the basics.
You can always check the version that you're running against.
$ hubot deploy:version
hubot-deploy v0.6.43/hubot v2.7.4/node v0.10.26
You can also trigger a variety of deployments with custom payloads.
$ hubot deploy hubot
... Deploys the master branch of hubot to the default environment
If you already have /deploy style syntax you can override the deploy command prefix with the HUBOT_DEPLOY_PREFIX environmental variable.
