This dependency can for example be used in your SharePoint Framework release process. Here is a sample gulp task that you can add to your SPFx project:

```javascript
const sppkgDeploy = require('node-sppkg-deploy');

const environmentInfo = {
"username": "",
"password": "",
"tenant": "",
"catalogSite": ""
}

build.task('sppkg-deploy', {
execute: (config) => {
environmentInfo.username = config.args['username'] || environmentInfo.username;
environmentInfo.password = config.args['password'] || environmentInfo.password;
environmentInfo.tenant = config.args['tenant'] || environmentInfo.tenant;
environmentInfo.catalogSite = config.args['catalogsite'] || environmentInfo.catalogSite;

const pkgFile = require('./config/package-solution.json');
if (pkgFile) {
// Retrieve the filename from the package solution config file
let filename = pkgFile.paths.zippedPackage;
// Remove the solution path from the filename
filename = filename.split('/').pop();
// Retrieve the skip feature deployment setting from the package solution config file
const skipFeatureDeployment = pkgFile.solution.skipFeatureDeployment ? pkgFile.solution.skipFeatureDeployment : false;
// Deploy the SharePoint package
return sppkgDeploy.deploy({
username: environmentInfo.username,
password: environmentInfo.password,
tenant: environmentInfo.tenant,
site: environmentInfo.catalogSite,
filename: filename,
skipFeatureDeployment: skipFeatureDeployment,
verbose: true
});
}
}
});
```

Once this task is in place, you can run it with: `gulp sppkg-deploy` or `gulp sppkg-deploy --username "" --password "" --tenant "" --catalogsite ""`.
