+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+*gnome-extensions* is a utility that makes some common GNOME extensions
+operations available on the command line.
+
+COMMON OPTIONS
+--------------
+All commands except for *help* and *version* handle the following options:
+
+*--quiet*, *-q*::
+Do not print error messages
+
+COMMANDS
+--------
+*help* ['COMMAND']::
+Displays a short synopsis of the available commands or provides
+detailed help on a specific command.
+
+*version*::
+Prints the program version.
+
+*enable* 'UUID'::
+Enables the extension identified by 'UUID'.
++
+The command will not detect any errors from the extension itself, use the
+*info* command to confirm that the extension state is *ENABLED*.
++
+If the extension is already enabled, the command will do nothing.
+
+*disable* 'UUID'::
+Disables the extension identified by 'UUID'.
++
+If the extension is not enabled, the command will do nothing.
+
+*reset* 'UUID'::
+Reset the extension identified by 'UUID'.
++
+The extension will be disabled in GNOME, but may be enabled by other sessions
+like GNOME Classic.
+
+*info* 'UUID'::
+Show details of the extension identified by 'UUID', including name,
+description and state.
+
+*show* 'UUID'::
+Synonym of info.
+
+*list* ['OPTION'...]::
+Displays a list of installed extensions.
++
+.Options
+ *--user*;;
+ Include extensions installed in the user's *$HOME*
+
+ *--system*;;
+ Include extensions installed in the system
+
+ *--enabled*;;
+ Include enabled extensions
+
+ *--disabled*;;
+ Include disabled extensions
+
+ *--prefs*;;
+ Only include extensions with preferences
+
+ *--updates*;;
+ Only include extensions with pending updates
+
+ *-d*;;
+ *--details*;;
+ Show some extra information for each extension
+
+*prefs* 'UUID'::
+Open the preference dialog of the extension identified by 'UUID'.
+
+
+*create* ['OPTION'...]::
+Creates a new extension from a template.
++
+.Options
+ *--name*='NAME':::
+ Set the user-visible name in the extension's metadata
+ to 'NAME'
+
+ *--description*='DESC':::
+ Set the description in the extension's metadata to 'DESC'
+
+ *--uuid*='UUID':::
+ Set the unique extension ID in the metadata to 'UUID'
+
+ *--template*='TEMPLATE':::
+ Use 'TEMPLATE' as base for the new extension
+
+ *-i*:::
+ *--interactive*:::
+ Prompt for any extension metadata that hasn't been provided
+ on the command line
+
+*pack* ['OPTION'...] ['SOURCE-DIRECTORY']::
+Creates an extension bundle that is suitable for publishing.
++
+The bundle will always include the required files extension.js
+and metadata.json, as well as the optional stylesheet.css and
+prefs.js if found. Each additional source that should be included
+must be specified with *--extra-source*.
++
+If the extension includes one or more GSettings schemas, they can
+either be placed in a schemas/ folder to be picked up automatically,
+or be specified with *--schema*.
++
+Similarily, translations are included automatically when they are
+located in a po/ folder, otherwise the *--podir* option can be
+used to point to the correct directory. If no gettext domain is
+provided on the command line, the value of the *gettext-domain*
+metadata field is used if it exists, and the extension UUID
+if not.
++
+All files are searched in 'SOURCE-DIRECTORY' if specified, or
+the current directory otherwise.
++
+.Options
+ *--extra-source*='FILE':::
+ Additional source to include in the bundle
+
+ *--schema*='SCHEMA':::
+ A GSettings schema that should be compiled and
+ included
+
+ *--podir*='PODIR':::
+ A directory with translations that should be
+ compiled and included
+
+ *--gettext-domain*='DOMAIN':::
+ The gettext domain to use for translations
+
+ *-f*:::
+ *--force*:::
+ Overwrite an existing pack
+
+ *-o*:::
+ *--out-dir*='DIRECTORY':::
+ The directory where the pack should be created
+
+*install* ['OPTION'...] 'PACK'::
+Installs an extension from the bundle 'PACK'.
++
+The command unpacks the extension files and moves them to
+the expected location in the user's *$HOME*, so that it
+will be loaded in the next session.
++
+It is mainly intended for testing, not as a replacement for
+GNOME Software or the extension website. As extensions have
+privileged access to the user's session, it is advised to
+never load extensions from untrusted sources without carefully
+reviewing their content.
++
+.Options
+ *--force*:::
+ Override an existing extension
+
+*uninstall* 'UUID'::
+Uninstalls the extension identified by 'UUID'.
+
+
+EXIT STATUS
+-----------
+On success 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
+
+BUGS
+----
+The tool is part of the gnome-shell project, and bugs should be reported
+in its issue tracker at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues.
