        .SH "NAME" ostree.repo - OSTree repository configuration and layout
        .SH "DESCRIPTION"

                .PP An OSTree repository is structurally similar to a git repository; it is a content-addressed object store containing filesystem trees. However, unlike git, ostree is designed to store operating system binaries. It records the Unix uid and gid, permissions, as well as extended attributes.
        .PP A repository can be in one of three modes; bare, which is designed as a hard link source for operating system checkouts, bare-user, which is like bare but works on systems that run as non-root as well as non-root containers, and archive-z2, which is designed for static HTTP servers.
        .PP There is a system repository located at /ostree/repo. If no repository is specified -- either by a command-line option or the OSTREE_REPO environment variable -- the ostree as well as many API calls will use it by default.
