I have downloaded several gnome-shell extensions from official Gnome site and installed. But, I don't want to install them every time, I re-install my Ubuntu. I want to have a feature to backup those extensions and restore them as required.

How can I do that?

The downloaded gnome-shell extensions are stored in the .local/share/gnome-shell/extensions folder in your home directory folder. Copy the extensions folder and store them in somewhere else.

When you need to restore those extensions, copy and paste the stored extensions folder in your .local/share/gnome-shell folder. Logout and Login.
