More Information FLATPAKREPO file open in GitHub Atom Flatpak is a Linux app distribution framework that allows developers to easily package and distribute applications across multiple Linux platforms. Flatpak also makes it easier for developers to fix and maintain their applications, as they do not have to develop and publish different versions of their applications for different Linux platforms. After a developer finishes packaging an app using Flatpak, they create a repository that contains all the application's code. They then upload the repository to the Internet and create a FLATPAKREPO file that contains all the information Linux users need to access the repository.

How to open an FLATPAKREPO file
Because FLATPAKREPO files are plain text files, you can open them in any text editor, including Notepad (Windows), TextEdit (Apple), or Atom (cross-platform).
However, FLATPAKREPO files are meant to be used to download repositories via Flatpak. Provided a Flatpak repo is stored on Flathub (Flatpak's app-store-like sister service), you can download the repository by entering the following command:
$ flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/filenamehere.flatpakrepo
