6 flatpak-pin - Pin runtimes to prevent automatic removal
7
9 flatpak pin [OPTION...] PATTERN...
10
12 Flatpak maintains a list of patterns that define which refs are pinned.
13 A pinned ref will never be automatically uninstalled (as are unused
14 runtimes periodically). This can be useful if for example you are using
15 a runtime for development purposes.
16
17 Runtimes that are explicitly installed, rather than installed as a
18 dependency of something else, are automatically pinned.
19
20 The patterns are just a partial ref, with the * character matching
21 anything within that part of the ref. Only runtimes can be pinned, not
22 apps. Here are some example patterns:
23
24 org.some.Runtime
25 org.some.Runtime//unstable
26 runtime/org.domain.*
27 org.some.Runtime/arm
28
29 To list the current set of pins, run this command without any patterns.
30
32 The following options are understood:
33
34 -h, --help
35 Show help options and exit.
36
37 --remove
38 Instead of adding the patterns, remove matching patterns.
39
40 --user
41 Pin refs in a per-user installation.
42
43 --system
44 Pin refs in the default system-wide installation.
45
46 --installation=NAME
47 Pin refs in a system-wide installation specified by NAME among
48 those defined in /etc/flatpak/installations.d/. Using
49 --installation=default is equivalent to using --system.
50
51 -v, --verbose
52 Print debug information during command processing.
