## What it is
gmpublisher is a desktop utility for publishing and managing Garry's Mod Steam Workshop addons, built with Rust, Svelte, and Tauri. It replaces Valve's gmad.exe and gmpublish.exe tools with a GUI and CLI that can publish, update, extract, and bulk-download Workshop items and GMA files.

## Use cases
- publish a Garry's Mod addon to the Steam Workshop
- update an existing Workshop item with new files
- extract and browse GMA addon files
- bulk download Workshop collections for offline use
- analyze which addons take up the most disk space
- upload an animated GIF as a Workshop item icon

## When to choose
- you create or maintain Garry's Mod addons and want a GUI alternative to gmad/gmpublish
- you need to extract, search, or bulk-download Workshop content
- you want a cross-platform tool with both GUI and CLI interfaces

## When to avoid
- you publish content for other Source games or non-Steam platforms
- you need fully automated CI/CD publishing without any Steam interaction
- you work outside the Garry's Mod ecosystem

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, cli, gui, file-system, compression
- domain: gaming-tools, developer-tools, cross-platform
