+# This workflow creates a zip file of the Chrome extension and publishes it as a GitHub release.

+# To trigger this workflow:
+# 1. Create a version tag: git tag v1.0
+# 2. Push the tag: git push origin v1.0
+# 
+# The workflow will automatically create a release with the extension zip file attached.
