flatpak-remote-add Add a remote repository

Add from a .flatpakrepo file:

`flatpak remote-add` OPTION --from NAME LOCATION

Manually specify repo uri and options:

`flatpak remote-add` OPTION NAME LOCATION

## Description

Adds a remote repository to the flatpak repository configuration. NAME is the name for the new remote, and LOCATION is a url or pathname. The LOCATION is either a flatpak repository, or a .flatpakrepo file which describes a repository. In the former case you may also have to specify extra options, such as the gpg key for the repo.

Unless overridden with the --user or --installation options, this command changes the default system-wide installation.

## Options

The following options are understood:

`-h`
`--help`

  Show help options and exit.

`--from`

  Assume the URI is a .flatpakrepo file rather than the repository itself. This is enabled by default if the extension is .flatpakrepo, so generally you don't need this option.

`--user`

  Modify the per-user configuration.

`--system`

  Modify the default system-wide configuration.

`--installation=NAME`

  Modify a system-wide installation specified by NAME among those defined in `/etc/flatpak/installations.d/`. Using --installation=default is equivalent to using --system.

`--no-gpg-verify`

  Disable GPG verification for the added remote.

`--prio=PRIO`

  Set the priority for the remote. Default is 1, higher is more prioritized. This is mainly used for graphical installation tools.

`--no-enumerate`

  Mark the remote as not enumerated. This means the remote will not be used to list applications, for instance in graphical installation tools.

`--no-use-for-deps`

  Mark the remote as not to be used for automatic runtime dependency resolution.

`--if-not-exists`

  Do nothing if the provided remote already exists.

`--disable`

  Disable the added remote.

`--title=TITLE`

  A title for the remote, e.g. for display in a UI.

`--default-branch=BRANCH`

  A default branch for the remote, mainly for use in a UI.

`--gpg-import=FILE`

  Import gpg keys from the specified keyring file as trusted for the new remote. If the file is - the keyring is read from standard input.

`-v`
`--verbose`

  Print debug information during command processing.

`--ostree-verbose`

  Print OSTree debug information during command processing.
