An upgrade of Alpine Linux from a stable version to the rolling development version, ''edge'' can be done in a few simple steps.
#REDIRECT [[Repositories#Upgrading_to_edge]]
 
{{Warning|Edge is under constant development so be careful using it in production. It can break your system.}}
 
# Add the edge repository to ''/etc/apk/repositories'':
{{Cmd|echo http://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/packages/main >> /etc/apk/repositories}}
or just edit the file in-place (replace '''v2.2''' with your release)
{{Cmd|sed -i -e 's/v2.2/edge/g' /etc/apk/repositories}}
# Upgrade all packages in one shot
{{Cmd|apk upgrade -a -U}}
# Check your current release
{{Cmd|cat /etc/alpine-release}}
You will see the build date attached to the release.
 
<!--
cat /etc/alpine-release | cut -c 0-3
This is not working at the moment
cat /etc/alpine-release | cut -c 0-3 | sed -i -e 's/v{}/edge/g' /etc/apk/repositories
