	`11`	`+`
	`12`	+Now, you can update this setting via the API. We've added a `default_branch` parameter to the [Edit Repository method][edit-repo]:
	`13`	`+`
	`14`	`+<preclass="terminal">`
	`15`	`+curl -u pengwynn \`
	`16`	`+ -d '{"name": "octokit", "default_branch":"development"}' \`
	`17`	`+ https://api.github.com/repos/pengwynn/octokit`
	`18`	`+</pre>`
	`19`	`+`
	`20`	+If you provide a branch name that hasn't been pushed to GitHub, we'll gracefully fall back to `'master'` or the first branch.
