SYNOPSIS

flatpak remote-info [options] remote ref

DESCRIPTION

Flatpak remote-info displays details about an application or runtime available in a remote repository. It shows information such as the application ID, architecture, branch, commit hash, download size, installed size, and runtime dependencies.
By default, output is in human-readable format. Using --show-* options switches to machine-readable output suitable for scripting.
The --log option is useful for viewing available versions and finding specific commits for downgrade operations or version pinning.

PARAMETERS

--user

Use per-user configuration
--system
Use default system-wide configuration
--installation name
Use specified system-wide installation
--cached
Use locally cached data when available
--runtime
Assume ref is a runtime
--app
Assume ref is an application
--arch arch
Target specific architecture
--commit commit
Show information for a specific commit
--log
Display version history
-r, --show-ref
Display the matched ref (machine-readable)
-c, --show-commit
Display the commit ID (machine-readable)
-p, --show-parent
Display the parent commit
-m, --show-metadata
Display the metadata
-v, --verbose
Output debug information

CAVEATS

Requires network access to query remote repositories unless --cached is specified. The cached option only works if the repository metadata has been previously fetched. Some information may not be available for all remotes or refs.

HISTORY

Part of the Flatpak project developed by Alexander Larsson at Red Hat. Flatpak evolved from the xdg-app project around 2015 and has become a leading universal package format for Linux desktop applications.
