Extract text from Flatpak repository files (FLATPAKREPO)

To convert other file formats to the "Repository Configuration File" file type, you need software like Flatpak or a similar tool.
A .flatpakrepo file is a plain-text configuration file used by Flatpak to add remote software repositories on Linux systems. It contains essential metadata such as the repository URL, GPG keys, and a display title. You can read more about Flatpak's sandboxed environment on Wikipedia.
The main disadvantage of the .flatpakrepo format is its highly system-specific nature. It is essentially useless on Windows or macOS out of the box. Users often struggle to view the contents because their operating system lacks a default application for the extension, leading to confusing 'Windows cannot open this file' errors.
If you need to share or read the configuration data across different platforms, the best target formats are standard text formats like TXT or INI. Converting to these formats ensures the repository URLs and security keys remain readable on any device without requiring specialized Linux software.
This file format is difficult to open or convert using standard online tools because it is an OS-specific settings file, not a standard media or document format. Most converters simply do not recognize the extension.
