Install
No release zip yet. The repository archive installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow:
wp plugin install https://github.com/stefanoinnamorati/chip-player/archive/refs/heads/main.zipShips its own WordPress updater (built-in updater), so new versions show up under Dashboard → Updates.

Updates
Until the plugin is on WordPress.org, WordPress checks GitHub Releases. Tag a version (1.0.2) that matches the plugin header, push, and publish a release. The host must allow outbound HTTPS.
Optional in wp-config.php if GitHub rate-limits the server:
define( 'CHIP_PLAYER_GITHUB_TOKEN', 'ghp_…' );
Set CHIP_PLAYER_DISABLE_GITHUB_UPDATES to true if WordPress.org should be the only update source.
WordPress.org
