(IMHO). Yes, it cannot encode everything but it can at least help. Is there any documentation about the flatpak work in Fedora? The wiki as all the other information that I find on Google with "flatpak Fedora" only focus on how to use them, for example https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Flatpak I think it is safe to assume that anyone getting involved to this will at some point learn what is "stable" in the "stable" branch. Then it will be easier to remember than "main" if "main" means something else in Fedora RPM packaging. > > > rawhide_its_the_branch_for_the_development_version_of_fedora_called_rawhide > > > > It is fair to assume that someone who needs to use this already knows > > what rawhide is.

Might be. But if they checkout the repo and get a "rawhide" branch, they should quickly realize that "rawhide" is the branch for "rawhide" instead of looking for a main branch for rawhide. > > > I suppose it's ok to make 'rawhide' a symref to main, or 'stable' in the > > > flatpak case... > > > > "main" as a symref might help people that are used to using main. > > Assuming that the symrefs are not visible, it makes more sense to use > > the descriptive names for the branches such as rawhide/stable.

Uh, I guess undo killed this... I mean to also write that then the "rawhide" branch would also appear as such in the shell prompt.
