This is one of the first google results for this problem so I'd like to add a little info:

git branch -r is useful here. In my case it showed remote branches but did NOT have origin/HEAD.
In that event you can simply do git remote set-head origin main where "main" is the name of your primary (head) branch.

Running git branch -r again now shows origin/HEAD -> origin/main and the warning goes away.

Some relevant discussion here. Posts by Jeff King are especially informative.

Thank you disso!

WOOT! Thanks dlsso!

Thank you!

Thank you very much, @disso!

Thanks @disso

I did not want "HEAD" at all. I removed it using this:

git remote set-head origin -d

worked for me, thanks.

thanks

in my case primary branch name was "production"
I ran git remote set-head origin production to solve this issue.

Disso thanks for leaving the comment, it helped me fix my error. Cheers,

Thanks @dlsso
