About Snapcraft
This is the code repository for snapd, the background service that manages and maintains installed snaps. Snaps are app packages for desktop, cloud, and IoT that update automatically. Easy to install, secure, cross-platform, and dependency-free. They're being used on millions of Linux systems every day. Alongside its various service and management functions, snapd provides the snap command that's used to install and remove snaps and interact with the wider snap ecosystem, implements the confinement policies that isolate snaps from the base system and from each other, governs the interfaces that allow snaps to access specific system resources outside of their confinement. If you're looking for something to install, such as Spotify or Visual Studio Code, take a look at the Snap Store. And if you want to build your own snaps, start with our creating a snap documentation.
