# flatpak-remote-ls(1)

Show available runtimes and applications

## NAME

flatpak-remote-ls - Show available runtimes and applications

## SYNOPSIS

**flatpak remote-ls** \[OPTION...\] \[REMOTE\]

## DESCRIPTION

Shows runtimes and applications that are available in the remote repository with the name REMOTE, or all remotes if one isn't specified. You can find all configured remote repositories with **flatpak remotes**.

REMOTE can be a file:// URI pointing to a local repository instead of a remote name.

Unless overridden with the **--system**, **--user**, or **--installation** options, this command uses either the default system-wide installation or the per-user one, depending on which has the specified REMOTE.

## OPTIONS

The following options are understood:

- **-h**, **--help**

  Show help options and exit.

- **-u**, **--user**

  Use the per-user configuration.

- **--system**

  Use the default system-wide configuration.

- **--installation=NAME**

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

- **--cached**

  Prefer to use locally cached information if possible, even though it may be out of date. This is faster, but risks returning stale information.

- **-d**, **--show-details**

  Show arches, branches and commit ids, in addition to the names. Equivalent to **--columns=all**.

- **--runtime**

  Show only runtimes, omit applications.

- **--app**

  Show only applications, omit runtimes.

- **--all**, **-a**

  Show everything. By default locale and debug extensions as well as secondary arches when the primary arch is available are hidden.

- **--updates**

  Show only those which have updates available.

- **--arch=ARCH**

  Show only those matching the specified architecture. By default, only supported architectures are shown. Use **--arch=\*** to show all architectures. See **flatpak --supported-arches** for architectures supported by the host.

- **-v**, **--verbose**

  Print debug information during command processing.

- **--ostree-verbose**

  Print OSTree debug information during command processing.

- **--app-runtime=RUNTIME**

  List applications that use the given runtime

- **--columns=FIELD,...**

  Specify what information to show about each ref. You can list multiple fields, or use this option multiple times.

  Append :s\[tart\], :m\[iddle\], :e\[nd\] or :f\[ull\] to column names to change ellipsization.
