The content is the same as what\(cqs found there: +.PP +checkout\&.defaultRemote +.RS 4 +When you run +\fBgit checkout <something>\fR +or +\fBgit switch <something>\fR +and only have one remote, it may implicitly fall back on checking out and tracking e\&.g\&. +\fBorigin/<something>\fR\&. This stops working as soon as you have more than one remote with a +\fB<something>\fR +reference\&. This setting allows for setting the name of a preferred remote that should always win when it comes to disambiguation\&. The typical use\-case is to set this to +\fBorigin\fR\&. +.sp +Currently this is used by +\fBgit-switch\fR(1) +and +\fBgit-checkout\fR(1) +when +\fBgit checkout <something>\fR +or +\fBgit switch <something>\fR +will checkout the +\fB<something>\fR +branch on another remote, and by +\fBgit-worktree\fR(1) +when +\fBgit worktree add\fR +refers to a remote branch\&.

For repositories on spinning disks and/or machines with a small number of cores, the default sequential checkout often performs better\&.
