FLATPAK-BUILD-SIGN(1)

✨ FLATPAK-BUILD-SIGN ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the flatpak-build-sign page 💅 this is part of the flatpak manual, and it's literally the little tool that puts your signature on stuff. let's go 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

flatpak-build-sign — sign an application or runtime 🔏✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

flatpak build-sign [OPTION...] LOCATION ID [BRANCH]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the way this works is: it signs the commit for an application or a runtime that lives in a local repository. that's the whole vibe 💫

• LOCATION is where the repository is at, like, physically, on your machine.
• ID is the name of the application — or, if you passed --runtime, the name of the runtime instead.
• if you don't give a BRANCH, it just assumes it's "master". no thoughts, head empty, default branch 💀

also! applications can totally get signed during build-export too, so it's not like this is the only way. but sometimes you wanna add extra signatures later, and that's exactly what this is for. iconic behaviour, honestly 👑

---

💖 OPTIONS 💖

here's everything you can pass, bestie. the following options are understood:

• -h, --help — show the help options and dip. that's it, that's the whole thing 🙈
• --gpg-sign=KEYID — sign the commit with this GPG key 🔑 and listen, you can use this option multiple times, so stack those keys if you need to.
• --gpg-homedir=PATH — the GPG homedir to use when it goes looking for keyrings 🏠
• --runtime — sign a runtime instead of an app. little switcheroo ✨
• --arch=ARCH — the architecture to use. wanna know which ones your host actually supports? run flatpak --supported-arches and it'll tell you 💻
• -v, --verbose — print debug information while the command is doing its thing 🔍
• --ostree-verbose — print OSTree debug information during command processing. extra spicy debug mode 🌶️
