# Using Plugins
Ignite plugins offer a way to extend the functionality of the Ignite CLI. There
are two core concepts within plugins : `Commands` and `Hooks`. Where `Commands`
extend the cli's functionality, and `Hooks` extend existing command
functionality.
Plugins are registered in an Ignite scaffolded Blockchain project through the
`plugins.yml`, or globally through `$HOME/.ignite/plugins/plugins.yml`.
To use a plugin within your project, execute the following command inside the
project directory:
```sh
ignite plugin add github.com/project/cli-plugin
```
The plugin will be available only when running `ignite` inside the project
directory.
To use a plugin globally on the other hand, execute the following command:
```sh
ignite plugin add -g github.com/project/cli-plugin
```
The command will compile the plugin and make it immediately available to the
`ignite` command lists.
## Listing installed plugins
When in an ignite scaffolded blockchain you can use the command `ignite plugin
list` to list all plugins and there statuses.
## Updating plugins
When a plugin in a remote repository releases updates, running `ignite plugin
update <path/to/plugin>` will update a specific plugin declared in your
project's `config.yml`.
