Gruntfile that builds your extension, archives it and puts in the /builds folder. Also can bump up manifest and package.json files and tag release.

Gruntfile.js

// Task configurations
module.exports = function(grunt) {
  grunt.initConfig({
    pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('manifest.json'),
    bumpup: {
      options: {
        updateProps: {
          pkg: 'manifest.json'
        }
      },
      files: ['manifest.json', 'package.json']
    },
    tagrelease: '<%= pkg.version %>',
    zip: {
      'long-format': {
        src: ['img/**', '*.js*','*.md','LICENSE', '!Gruntfile.js', '!package.json'],
        dest: 'builds/<%= pkg.name + "-" + pkg.version %>.zip'
      }
    }

  });

  // Loading the plugins
  grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-bumpup');
  grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-tagrelease');
  grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-zip');


  // Alias task for release
  grunt.registerTask('makeRelease', function (type) {
    type = type ? type : 'patch';     // Default release type
    grunt.task.run('bumpup:' + type); // Bump up the version
    grunt.task.run('tagrelease');     // Commit & tag the release
    grunt.task.run('zip');     // Compress an archive
  });

  grunt.registerTask('default', []);
  grunt.registerTask('build', ['makeRelease']);
  grunt.registerTask('pack', ['zip']);
