I can run Google Chrome from the command line using $ google-chrome, but what flag can I pass to open it with developer console already open, preferably open to the console tab?
I checked the man page for google-chrome but it states that
Google Chrome has hundreds of undocumented command-line flags that are added and removed at the whim of the developers.
I'm hoping one of those undocumented flags does what I want.

2. Type "chrome" without quotation marks to run Chrome from the terminal. Chrome is installed in your binary path, so no special directory is required.
The Chrome OS has a Developer Mode that gives you root access to the operating system of your Chromebook. To enable Developer Mode, restart your laptop pressing the Esc, Refresh, and Power keys, then Ctrl+D. Developer Mode may void your warranty and make you susceptible to malware.
The flag you're looking for is --auto-open-devtools-for-tabs. Please note, that you should quit Chrome before this setting will take effect.
This has worked at least since Chrome 55.0.2883.87 m (the latest version as of initial post)

A Google employee maintains this list of automatically updated Chromium flags. There doesn't seem to be a flag for opening Chrome with developer console open.
