I am working on a custom theme and am a little confused regarding how I can access/edit what’s in the `<head>`. I see the file `head_tag.html`, and of course when you edit it, it overrides the existing template. Cool, but how do I find the existing content? I’ve read and re-read this: [Developing Discourse Themes & Theme Components](https://meta.discourse.org/t/developer-s-guide-to-discourse-themes/93648) and also looked through [https://github.com/discourse/discourse/tree/master/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/templates](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/tree/master/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/templates)
