How to set default remote ref in TortoiseGit?

Question

How can I change default remote ref for TortoiseGit push dialog? It is normally master. I can change it to refs/for/master always when I push from combo or keyboard and it works, but I would like to stay the ref of my choice there. How can I do this?

Answer 1

It seems to me that the checkbox "Always push to the selected remote branch for this local branch" should do this.

Answer 2

For me the accepted answer did not work. Instead I went to the Remote settings and selected "Push default" on the default remote item (as shown below).
