+# `linuxdeploy-plugin-nop`
+
+This is a `linuxdeploy` output plugin that does… nothing. It can be used as a minimal template or to prevent `linuxdeploy` from running the default `linuxdeploy-plugin-appimage` plugin. The latter is useful when you want to deploy the AppDir yourself, for example using [appimagetool](https://github.com/AppImage/appimagetool/) with its full complement of CLI flags.
+
+## Usage
+
+* place [`linuxdeploy-plugin-nop.sh`](linuxdeploy-plugin-nop.sh) next to `linuxdeploy`
+* run `linuxdeploy` with arguments `--appdir your.AppDir ... --ouput nop`
+
+`linuxdeploy` will modify `your.AppDir` as it normally does, but will skip packing it into an AppImage.
