It provides an alternative to the cloud-based script editor, allowing version control, offline editing, and integration with standard development workflows. The tool supports TypeScript transpilation, so developers can write type-annotated code that compiles to JavaScript for the Apps Script runtime. Authentication is handled via OAuth 2.0, and users can synchronize local files with remote projects using ignore patterns similar to .gitignore. clasp also manages versioned deployment snapshots, allowing scripts to be published as web apps, add-ons, or APIs with distinct identifiers. Beyond basic project management, clasp enables CI/CD automation for linting, testing, and deploying script projects. It supports trigger-based automation across Google services, execution monitoring for running and completed functions, and development of custom spreadsheet functions and chat interfaces. Developers can build and publish add-ons for Google Workspace, manage multiple deployments, and retrieve execution logs. clasp is installed via npm and its documentation is maintained at the GitHub repository. ## Tags ### Development Tools & Productivity - [Apps Script Management](https://awesome-repositories.com/f/development-tools-productivity/apps-script-management.md) — Ships a command-line tool to develop, sync, and deploy Google Apps Script projects from a local environment. - [CLI Development Tools](https://awesome-repositories.com/f/development-tools-productivity/apps-script-management/cli-development-tools.md) — Provides a command-line interface for developing, syncing, and deploying Google Apps Script projects locally. - [Deployment Managers](https://awesome-repositories.com/f/development-tools-productivity/apps-script-management/deployment-managers.md) — Provides a utility for creating versioned deployments of script projects as web apps, add-ons, or APIs. - [Project Managers](https://awesome-repositories.com/f/development-tools-productivity/apps-script-management/project-managers.md) — Creates, downloads, and uploads script projects to Google Workspace with version control support. - [Versioned Deployments](https://awesome-repositories.com/f/development-tools-productivity/apps-script-management/versioned-deployments.md) — Manages versioned deployment snapshots, allowing scripts to be published as web apps, add-ons, or APIs. - [Cloud Script Project Initialization](https://awesome-repositories.com/f/development-tools-productivity/cloud-script-project-initialization.md) — Creates new script projects in a cloud editor with support for multiple types and custom settings.
