Extensions Explorer

Extend and customize Bike with extensions. They introduce new commands, keybindings, views, styles, and more. This is how Bike grows beyond what ships in the box: an extension can add a command you wish existed, bind it to a key, draw a new view, or restyle the editor.

I keep Bike's core small on purpose. When you want more, an extension is usually the right tool. It adds a real feature instead of a one-off automation you have to run by hand. You can find extensions other people have written on Bike's extension wiki, and you can write your own.

Extensions run real code, so I'd be honest with you: that's powerful, and it's also why sensitive features are safeguarded by a permission system. An extension only gets the capabilities it asks for and you allow, so installing one doesn't hand it the keys to everything.

Open Bike > Extensions Explorer to browse available extensions, install them, and manage which extensions are enabled.
