Upload Images Using SmartUI CLI

We've enhanced the SmartUI CLI package by adding an image upload feature. This new feature allows you to upload images directly from a specified directory to SmartUI for visual testing.

It works similarly to our current API upload functionality but includes additional features, such as support for the Git branching strategy.

Key features of the SmartUI CLI for image upload:

  • Image Support: Upload PNG, JPG, and JPEG images.
  • Directory Upload: Easily upload images from a specified directory.
  • Git Branching Strategy: Enhanced support for managing images in different branches.
