# Flatpak Alias

A simple way to make shell aliases for flatpak apps.

## Installation

Make sure cargo is installed and set up.

```sh

cargo install --git https://github.com/coolreader18/flatpak-alias

```

## Usage

Place the below somewhere in your shell startup script.

```sh

eval "$(flatpak-alias sh)"

```

Then put something like this in `~/.flatpak-aliases`:

```toml

# The alias's name; what you run in the shell

[gimp]

# The app you want to run

app = "org.gimp.GIMP"

# other arguments

branch = "stable"

arch = "x86_64"

command = "gimp-2.10"

file-forwarding = true

```

This adds an alias for the following:

```sh

flatpak run --arch=x86_64 --branch=stable --command=gimp-2.10 --file-forwarding org.gimp.GIMP

```
