Plugin developers could benefit from having one command to run to output the zip file with all assets that should be included for the plugin to work in WordPress.

I discussed it with @bph and she raised the concern that having big folders like the node_modules one included might be not the best experience. She shared her workaround:

I worked ‘around’ it to upload it to GitHub which is probably where it all ends up in the end. But it would be great for local testing without the need to use the GitHub repository and have the zip file easy to produce.
