+# Push To A Branch On Another Remote
+
+The kind of `git-push` I do most often is:
+
+```bash
+$ git push origin HEAD
+```
+
+which I have aliased to `put` in my `.gitconfig`.
+
+`HEAD` generally refers to whatever branch you currently have checked out. So
+this command will take the state of your current branch and push it to the
+branch of the same name on the `origin`, which is a _remote_ (see `git remote
+-v`).
+
+If you have other remotes set up, such as a `staging`, `heroku`, etc., then you
+may instead want to push to one of those.
+
+```bash
+$ git push heroku HEAD
+```
+
+This will push the state of the current branch to that branch on the `heroku`
+remote.
+
+If I instead want to push the changes from one local branch to a different
+named remote branch, then I have to specify both like so:
+
+```bash
+$ git push heroku staging:main
+```
+
+This will push the state of my local `staging` branch to the `main` branch on
+the `heroku` remote.
