Azure DevOps Services | Azure DevOps Server | Azure DevOps Server 2022

This article describes how to view and edit a pipeline's default branch. A pipeline's default branch defines the pipeline version used for manual builds, scheduled builds, retention policies, and in pipeline resource triggers. By default, a pipeline's default branch is the default branch of the repository.

View and update the default branch

To view and update the Default branch for manual and scheduled builds setting:

  1. In your Azure DevOps project, select your pipeline from the Pipelines list.

  2. On the pipeline page, select Edit.
