# g.extension.all

Rebuilds or removes all locally installed GRASS Addons extensions.

By default only extensions built against different GIS Library are rebuilt.

=== "Command line"

    **g.extension.all**
    [**-f**]
    [**operation**=*string*]
    [**--verbose**]
    [**--quiet**]
    [**--qq**]
    [**--ui**]

    Example:

    ```sh
    g.extension.all
    ```

=== "Python (grass.tools)"

    *grass.tools.Tools.g_extension_all*(**operation**=*"rebuild"*,
        **flags**=*None*,
        **verbose**=*None*,
        **quiet**=*None*,
        **superquiet**=*None*)

    Example:

    ```python
