The `flatpak-remote-info` command retrieves and displays information about a specific Flatpak remote repository. This information can include details like the remote's name, URL, whether it's a system-wide or user-specific remote, the default branch, and any associated metadata. The output is often formatted in a way that's easily parsable, making it useful for scripting or automation tasks that need to interact with Flatpak repositories. It allows users to query and verify the configuration and details of Flatpak remotes, ensuring they are correctly configured and pointing to the intended sources of applications. This is an invaluable tool for system administrators and developers managing Flatpak installations. The command will list out available branches or architectures where supported.
It can be used for troubleshooting as well.

The output format might change between Flatpak versions. Relying on a specific output structure in scripts might require careful version checking. Ensure the remote is added before querying its information.
