Automating Chrome extension publishing with GitHub Actions

The post describes how the author's company automates the process of publishing a Chrome extension to the Chrome Web Store. The automation is achieved using GitHub Actions, which runs a workflow when a specific tag is pushed to the `master` branch. This workflow consists of two jobs: one for building and archiving the extension artifact, and another for uploading it to the Web Store. The process involves generating Google API keys, installing the Chrome Web Store CLI tool, and using its upload command to submit the extension for review. Once the submission is complete, the author manually reviews the extension on the developer dashboard before publishing it. By automating this tedious task, the company can focus more time on building new features and improving their product.
