## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

chrome-cli is a macOS command-line utility for controlling Google Chrome-compatible browsers through Apple's Scripting Bridge.

### Projektgeschichte

The GitHub repository was created in February 2014. The README describes chrome-cli as a native OS X/macOS binary for controlling Chrome-compatible browsers from the command line.

The early 1.1.0 tag dates to February 2014, with later releases continuing through 1.11.0 in September 2025.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

Homebrew packages chrome-cli and installs companion wrapper commands for Chrome Canary, Chromium, Brave, Vivaldi, Edge, and Arc. The supplied package-manager facts also list MacPorts.

Homebrew's formula API reports stable version 1.11.0 and ongoing installs, while the README documents Homebrew as the installation path.

### Wie es verwendet wird

The tool lists windows, tabs, and links; opens URLs; activates, closes, reloads, resizes, and positions browser windows; prints tab information or source; executes JavaScript; and can emit JSON output with `OUTPUT_FORMAT=json`.

For JavaScript execution and source viewing, the README documents the Chrome setting needed for JavaScript from Apple Events. Browser selection can be changed with the `CHROME_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER` environment variable or the installed wrapper scripts.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

chrome-cli is significant as a small macOS automation package that exposes Apple Events/Scripting Bridge browser control as ordinary shell commands. It is especially useful in scripts, launchers, tests, and tab-management workflows where a full browser automation framework would be excessive.
