<h2>Switching to Fedora 30 branch</h2>
<p>Switching to Fedora 30 on Silverblue is easy. First, check if the <em>30</em> branch is available, which should be true now:</p>
<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">ostree remote refs fedora-workstation</pre>
<p>You should see the following in the output:</p>
<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">fedora-workstation:fedora/30/x86_64/silverblue</pre>
<p>Next, import the GPG key for the Fedora 30 branch. Without this step, you won’t be able to rebase.</p>
<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">sudo ostree remote gpg-import fedora-workstation -k /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-30-primary</pre>
<p>Next, rebase your system to the Fedora 30 branch.</p>
<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">rpm-ostree rebase fedora-workstation:fedora/30/x86_64/silverblue</pre>
<p>Finally, the last thing to do is restart your computer and boot to Fedora 30.</p>
<h2>How to revert things back</h2>
<p>Remember that Fedora 30’s still in beta testing phase, so there could still be some issues. If anything bad happens — for instance, if you can’t boot to Fedora 30 at all — it’s easy to go back. Just pick the previous entry in GRUB, and your system will start in its previous state before switching to Fedora 30. To make this change permanent, use the following command:</p>
<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">rpm-ostree rollback</pre>
<p>That’s it. Now you know how to rebase to Fedora 30 and back. So why not test it today? <img src="http://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/how-to-rebase-to-fedora-30-beta-on-silverblue.png" alt="?" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em;max-height: 1em" /></p>
