        <title>Description</title>

        <para>
            Adds a remote repository to the flatpak repository configuration.
            <arg choice="plain">NAME</arg> is the name for the new remote, and
            <arg choice="plain">LOCATION</arg> is a url or pathname.
            The <arg choice="plain">LOCATION</arg> is either a flatpak repository,
            or a <filename>.flatpakrepo</filename> 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.
        </para>
        <para>
            Unless overridden with the <option>--user</option> or <option>--installation</option> options, this command
            changes the default system-wide installation.
        </para>

                <listitem><para>
                  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.
                </para></listitem>

                    Using <option>--installation=default</option> is equivalent to using

                    Set the priority for the remote. Default is 1, higher is more prioritized. This is

                    Mark the remote as not enumerated. This means the remote will

            <varlistentry>
                <term><option>--filter=PATH</option></term>

                <listitem><para>
                  Add a local filter to the remote. A filter file is a list of lines, each
                  file starting with "allow" or "deny", and then a glob for the ref to
                  allow or disallow. The globs specify a partial ref (i.e. you can leave out
                  trailing parts which will then match everything), but otherwise only "*" is
                  special, matching anything in that part of the ref.
                </para>
                <para>
                  By default all refs are allowed, but if a ref
                  matches a deny rule it is disallowed unless it
                  specifically matches an allow rule. This means you
                  can use this to implement both allowlisting and blocklisting.
                </para>
                <para>
                  Here is an example filter file:
<programlisting>
# This is an allowlist style filter as it denies all first
deny *
allow runtime/org.freedesktop.*
allow org.some.app/arm
allow org.signal.Signal/*/stable
allow org.signal.Signal.*/*/stable
</programlisting>
                </para>
                </listitem>
            </varlistentry>

            <varlistentry>
                <term><option>--gpg-import=FILE</option></term>

                <listitem><para>
                     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.
                </para></listitem>
