NAME

flatpak-flatpakref - Reference to a remote for an application or runtime

DESCRIPTION

Flatpak uses flatpakref files to share information about a remote for a single application. The flatpakref file contains enough information to add the remote and install the application. Use the flatpak install --from command to do so.

The filename extension commonly used for flatpakref files is .flatpakref.

A flatpakref file can also refer to a remote for a runtime.

The flatpakref file is using the same .ini file format that is used for systemd unit files or application .desktop files.
