+### I want to set my HEAD to track the default remote branch
+
+By checking your remote branches, you can see which remote branch your HEAD is tracking. In some cases, this is not the desired branch.
+
+```sh
+$ git branch -rr
+  origin/HEAD -> origin/gh-pages
+  origin/master
+```
+
+To change `origin/HEAD` to track `origin/master`, you can run this command:
+
+```sh
+$ git remote set-head origin --auto
+origin/HEAD set to master
+```
