fdroidcl: Search for an app in the index.
$ fdroidcl search ${search_pattern}
try on your machine

The command fdroidcl search ${search_pattern} is a command-line command used in the F-Droid command-line tools. This command is used to search for applications available in the F-Droid repository that match a specific search pattern.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • fdroidcl is the command-line tool for interacting with the F-Droid repository.
  • search is the command followed by the search pattern, which is the term or keywords you want to search for.
  • ${search_pattern} is a placeholder for the actual search term or keywords you want to use.

To use this command, you need to replace ${search_pattern} with the term you want to search for. For example, if you want to search for a music player, you can use the command fdroidcl search music player.

This command will then communicate with the F-Droid repository, search for applications matching the provided search pattern, and display the results in the command-line interface. You can then browse and select the desired applications based on the search results.
