For a GUI version, Amphetamine is quite nice (and free). https://apps.apple.com/us/app/amphetamine/id937984704?mt=12

That's interesting, I have never needed to do that. My Pixels have always just charged even if the lid is closed, on Intel and Apple Silicon machines. I like to travel light so I often use my laptop as a battery bank instead of carrying a seperate one.
