Automate Installation and Settings for Gnome Extensions

The purpose is to automate your gnome's extensions. If you use multiple machines or distro hop, it's a pain to manually install extensions on each new installation. So, here is a single application to simply one part, installation and configuration of gnome extensions.

• Gnome Shell 3.36 or greater gnome-shell --version
• Gnome Extensions gnome-extensions --version
• Python 3.5 or greater python --version
• PIP installed pip --version

After verifying you have Python 3 and pip module manager installed, use the following command to install.

pip install --user gnome-extensions-sync

Step 1 - Generate a configuration file

gnome-extensions-sync generate

Now on a new machine, you just need to do 2 steps. Step 1. Copy previously generated configuration file Step 2. Run gnome-extension-sync

gnome-extensions-sync run

Step 3. Done

gnome-extensions-sync run

gnome-extensions-sync generate

gnome-extensions-sync upload

gnome-extensions-sync download

Remotely pull down your configuration file and install extensions.

gnome-extension-sync downloadrun

• Distro (hostnamectl)
• Gnome Shell (gnome-shell --version)
• Gnome Extension version (gnome-extensions)
• gnome-extensions-sync configuration file (~/.config/gnome-extensions-sync/extensions.json)

gnome-extension-sync will detect if the extension is installed and take no action.

Nope.
