In my remote bare repository the HEAD is pointing to "refs/heads/master" and I want it to point to "refs/heads/other".
在我的远程裸存储库中，HEAD指向“refs / heads / master”，我希望它指向“refs / heads / other”。
I am not able to go to remote repository directory and run git symbolic-ref. Is there any git command to achieve it? Or any other way?
我无法进入远程存储库目录并运行git symbolic-ref。是否有任何git命令来实现它？还是其他任何方式？
If there is no way, does Github allow one to change the HEAD?
如果没办法，Github是否允许改变HEAD？
Thanks in advance.
提前致谢。

To change it in github, go to the admin section.
You can select the default branch from a dropdown there.
要在github中更改它，请转到管理部分。您可以从下拉列表中选择默认分支。

(There has been posted another question asking basically the same: How do I change a Git remote HEAD to point to something besides “master”, and there was more discussion there, with a reference to the Github group. So I'd just like to point anyone to that discussion as well.)
（已经发布了另一个问题基本相同：如何更改Git远程HEAD以指向除“master”之外的东西，并且那里有更多的讨论，并引用了Github组。所以我只是喜欢指出任何人也参与讨论。）
As we know, there is no universal answer.
我们知道，没有普遍的答案。
But there are a specific answers for various git "farms" (where multiple users can manage git repos through a restricted interface: via http and ssh): http://Github.com, http://Gitorious.org, http://repo.or.cz, Girar (http://git.altlinux.org).
但是对于各种git“farm”有一个特定的答案（多个用户可以通过受限制的界面管理git repos：通过http和ssh）：http：//Github.com,http：//Gitorious.org,http：/ /repo.or.cz,Girar(http://git.altlinux.org）。
These specific answers might be useful for those reading this page and thinking about these specific services.

- Now they have a drop-down menu for selecting the HEAD branch at http://repo.or.cz (example: http://repo.or.cz/editproj.cgi?name=for-me-and-for-all_imz.git);
- 现在，他们有一个下拉菜单，用于在http://repo.or.cz上选择HEAD分支（例如：http：//repo.or.cz/editproj.cgi？name = for-me-and-for- all_imz.git）;
- and at http://gitorious.org, too (look somewhere in the settings);
- 在http://gitorious.org上（看看设置中的某个地方）;
- and at http://GitHub.com: admin > Default Branch > (choose something) (thanks to @srcspider's answer);
- 并在http://GitHub.com:admin>默认分支>（选择一些东西）（感谢@ srcspider的回答）;
- and in Girar (running on http://git.altlinux.org to build packages for ALT's distro), one can the ssh interface for this:
- 在Girar（运行在http://git.altlinux.org上为ALT的发行版构建软件包），可以使用ssh接口：
$ ssh git.alt help | fgrep branch default-branch [] $
for example ssh git.alt default-branch packages/autosshd.git sisyphus to change the HEAD in the remote repo autosshd.git to point to the sisyphus branch.
例如ssh git.alt default-branch packages / autosshd.git sisyphus将远程repo autosshd.git中的HEAD更改为指向sisyphus分支。
