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.
To view and update the Default branch for manual and scheduled builds setting:
-
In your Azure DevOps project, select your pipeline from the Pipelines list.
-
On the pipeline page, select Edit.

Azure Pipelines loads a maximum of 2,000 branches from a repository into the Default branch for manual and scheduled builds selector. If you don't see your desired branch in the list, enter the desired branch name manually.
