Assuming you want to do it in JS

document.title = document.querySelectorAll('h1')[0].textContent

Where [0] is indicating that you want the text from the first h1 element. If your h1 will have an id then use that instead as it will explicit therefore safer.

A more narrow selector would make a lot more sense. This approach breaks as soon as you add another `h1` – Liam Aug 20 '18 at 13:55
You are right. Hence the indication that using id is better. – Marco Yammine Aug 20 '18 at 13:56
