chrome-webstore-upload-cli

CLI tool for uploading, updating, and publishing Chrome Extensions to the Chrome Web Store. The current stable version is 3.5.0, requiring Node >=18. The v4 pre-release (v4.0.0-0) requires Node 20+ and removes CLI flags for secrets, using only environment variables. Key differentiators: it's a simple, single-purpose CLI that automates packaging and deployment, supporting both .zip and .crx files. The project has frequent minor releases (3.0.0 went stable in late 2022) and is actively maintained by Fregante. Alternatives like chrome-webstore-upload (programmatic) or web-ext have different focus areas.
