Gabriel Arazas ae3656f006 Make the command line notes consistent 
Just the title anyways. It makes easier to find aside from the file name
and also makes it clear in case I refer to them from other documents.

Command line: Flatpak

Flatpak is a cross-Linux-distro deployment system commonly used for packaging desktop applications.

Options

Flatpak has a similar interface to Git being composed of subcommands with specific options.

  • -v, --verbose - just print more information

Most of the query-related subcommands (e.g., search, list) has the following options.

  • --columns=${COLUMNS} - print the columns listed; useful for extracting the information you want you can find the related fields from the respective manual page

Examples

Flatpak has a lot of stuff so we'll bring some examples to get started.

Basic usage

Or at least how I think it would be for a starting user.

flatpak search ferdi

flatpak install ferdi

flatpak uninstall ferdi

Package installation interface

fzf is the star here.

flatpak search ${QUERY} --columns=application \
    | fzf --multi --prompt "Choose Flatpak package(s) to install > " \
    | xargs --replace="{}" flatpak install --noninteractive {}

Package uninstallation interface

If there's one for installing packages, there's also one for removing them.

flatpak list ${QUERY} --columns=application \
    | fzf --multi --prompt "Choose Flatpak package(s) to remove > " \
    | xargs --replace="{}" flatpak uninstall --noninteractive {}
