Request alias for Nitrate

To make the review of your request easier, please use the following template to provide all the required details and also include any other information that may be relevant.


  • name: nitrate
  • description: Nitrate is a comprehensive tool to install, create, compile, analyze, recompose, and distribute software packages using the Nitrate Programming language. It integrates the entire Nitrate Toolchain and provides a consistent and reliable way to interact with Nitrate projects.
  • snapcraft: snapcraft.yaml
  • aliases:
    • no3: nitrate
    • reasoning: The tool is sometimes advertised as no3. The theme of the project and therefore the name, is no3, it is the chemical name (Wikipedia) for a Nitrate molecule.

To the best of my knowledge, there is no existing snap alias already granted or a well-known Linux application conflicting with the aliases requested here.
