Get Started

Use FVM

Use Flutter Version Manager (FVM) to switch from Flutter to Flock, and back. Use FVM version 4.0, or later.

Use Flock

Open your project and run these commands:

# Add Flock as a Flutter fork, in FVM, globally.
fvm fork add flock https://github.com/join-the-flock/flock.git

# Configure your project to use Flock.
fvm use flock/stable

# Download Flock.
fvm install flock/stable

Use any fvm Flutter command, like fvm flutter --version or fvm flutter build.

Within your project, FVM commands will be sent to the Flock version of Flutter.

Manual Configuration

If you'd rather configure FVM directly, you can get the same result by editing a couple configuration files.

Add Flock as a Flutter fork to your global FVM configuration file:

{
  "forks": [
    {
      "name": "flock",
      "url": "https://github.com/join-the-flock/flock.git"
    }
  ]
}

Choose the Flock fork in your project's .fvmrc file:

{
  "flutter": "flock/stable"
}

After making these two changes, any FVM command that you run in your project, such as fvm flutter --version, will download and use the Flock fork.
