6 flatpak-flatpakref - Reference to a remote for an application or
7 runtime
8
10 Flatpak uses flatpakref files to share information about a remote for a
11 single application. The flatpakref file contains enough information to
12 add the remote and install the application. Use the flatpak install
13 --from command to do so.
14
15 flatpakref files may also contain additional information that is useful
16 when displaying the application to the user, e.g. in an app store.
17
18 The filename extension commonly used for flatpakref files is
19 .flatpakref.
20
21 A flatpakref file can also refer to a remote for a runtime.
22
24 The flatpakref file is using the same .ini file format that is used for
25 systemd unit files or application .desktop files.
26

44 runtime. If this key is not specified, the "master" branch is used.
