README
# gh-exts
Your extensions, in depth. An interactive browser for your installed `gh` extensions — with health indicators, update checks, extension management, and discovery.
## Install
```bash
gh extension install maxbeizer/gh-exts
```
## Usage
```bash
gh exts # launch interactive extension browser
gh exts # jump directly to the detail view for
gh exts --outdated # show only extensions with available updates
gh exts --browse # browse and install new extensions from GitHub
gh exts --export # export install script to stdout
gh exts --export-json # export extensions as JSON
gh exts -h # show help
gh exts -v # show version
```
### Direct Argument
Pass a name to fuzzy-match against installed extensions. If exactly one matches, its README opens immediately. If multiple match, the picker opens pre-filtered.
```bash
gh exts contrib # jumps straight to gh-contrib's README
```
### Outdated Mode
Show only extensions that have newer versions available on GitHub:
```bash
gh exts --outdated
```
### Browse & Install
Discover popular `gh` extensions from GitHub and install them interactively:
```bash
gh exts --browse
```
Press `i` on any extension to install it.
### Export
Back up your extension list for easy reinstall on another machine:
```bash
gh exts --export > install-exts.sh # shell script
gh exts --export-json > exts.json # JSON manifest
```
