Features

• Search the Marketplace by keyword or exact extension ID
• Download extensions as .vsix files for offline or air-gapped use
• Install extensions directly via the code CLI
• Uninstall extensions by ID using the code CLI
• Full pipeline support — find, save, and install in a single one-liner

Requirements

• PowerShell 5.1 or PowerShell 7+
