It's great but i rewrote it because including the singing key could be bad

function crx() {
  /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --pack-extension=$@ --pack-extension-key=$@.pem
}

ok to be fair, snowman was being a bit harsh. this is called "shell" script, designed for MacOS and Linux. I wouldn't recommend using Windows (for anything tbh), but Im sure there's an alternative hidden in your %APPDATA% which could be accessed with "bat", Window's answer to "shell".

Apparently this should work on Win:
chrome.exe --pack-extension=c:\myext --pack-extension-key=c:\myext.pem
