Hi, thanks for the interest!

There's nothing like that implemented at the moment, although there's a tracking issue for it (#172). I'm also planning on adding a 'Lists' feature which will let you "share" extensions between computers - this is tracked in #75.

Something important to note is that GNOME Shell handles the actual extension installation, and we simply send it a request. As part of this, it requires the user to click "Install" on a popup which is not something we can control. So any CLI interface would still have to respect this limitation, meaning true hands-free installation is not really possible. The lists feature should definitely make this easier though.
