# [NAME](#NAME)

gh-extension-browse - Enter a UI for browsing, adding, and removing extensions

# [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS)

**gh extension browse \[flags]**

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

This command will take over your terminal and run a fully interactive interface for browsing, adding, and removing gh extensions. A terminal width greater than 100 columns is recommended. Narrow terminals automatically use a single-column layout.

To learn how to control this interface, press **?** after running to see the help text.

Press **q** to quit.

Running this command with **--single-column** should make this command more intelligible for users who rely on assistive technology like screen readers or high zoom.

For a more traditional way to discover extensions, see:

```
gh ext search
```

along with **gh ext install**, **gh ext remove**, and **gh repo view**.
