SYNOPSIS
- flatpak update [OPTION...] [NAME] [BRANCH]
DESCRIPTION
By default this looks for both installed applications and runtimes, but you can limit this by using the --app or --runtime option.
Normally, this command updates the application to the tip of its branch. But it is possible to check out another commit, with the --commit option.
Note that updating a is different from installing a different branch, and runtime updates are expected to keep strict compatibility. If an application update does cause a problem, it is possible to go back to the previous version, with the --commit option.
Unless overridden with the --user option, this command updates a system-wide installation.
