        <title>Description</title>

        <para>
            Makes a particular branch of an application current. Only the current branch
            of an app has its exported files (such as desktop files and icons) made visible
            to the host.
        </para>
        <para>
            When a new branch is installed it will automatically be made current, so this
            command is often not needed.
        </para>
        <para>
            Unless overridden with the <option>--user</option> or <option>--installation</option> options, this command
            changes the default system-wide installation.
