GH-EXTENSION-SEARCH(1) GitHub CLI manual GH-EXTENSION-SEARCH(1)

gh-extension-search - Search extensions to the GitHub CLI

gh extension search [<query>] [flags]

Search for gh extensions.

With no arguments, this command prints out the first 30 extensions available to install sorted by number of stars. More extensions can be fetched by specifying a higher limit with the --limit flag.

When connected to a terminal, this command prints out three columns. The first has a ✓ if the extension is already installed locally. The second is the full name of the extension repository in OWNER/REPO format. The third is the extension's description.

When not connected to a terminal, the ✓ character is rendered as the word "installed" but otherwise the order and content of the columns are the same.

This command behaves similarly to gh search repos but does not support as many search qualifiers. For a finer grained search of extensions, try using:

gh search repos --topic "gh-extension"

and adding qualifiers as needed. See gh help search repos to learn more about repository search.

For listing just the extensions that are already installed locally, see:

gh ext list

Filter JSON output using a jq expression

Output JSON with the specified fields

Filter based on license type

Maximum number of extensions to fetch

Order of repositories returned, ignored unless '--sort' flag is specified: {asc|desc}

Filter on owner

Sort fetched repositories: {forks|help-wanted-issues|stars|updated}

Format JSON output using a Go template; see "gh help formatting"
