We study the semidirect
product of a Lie algebra with a representation up to homotopy and provide various
examples coming from Courant algebroids, Lie 2-algebras of string type, and
omni-Lie algebroids. In the end, we study the semidirect product of a Lie group with
a representation up to homotopy and use it to give an integration of a certain Lie
2-algebra of string type.
