How Do I Trigger A Build In Azure DevOps On Commit To Branch?

Question

If I was using TeamCity I could trigger my build when there is a commit to a particular branch:

The closest I can see in the documentation for Azure DevOps is to trigger a build from a pull request

Is it possible to configure the pipelines in Azure DevOps to trigger a build when there is a commit to develop or master?

Answer 1

It an be done, both for pipelines defined in yaml as well as classic pipelines defined in directly in the UI of Azure Devops.

Triggers in Yaml pipelines

Add a trigger block to the top of your azure-pipeline.yaml (or whatever your yaml file you have hooked up to your pipeline) and put the following content.

trigger:
- master
- develop

Triggers in Classic pipelines

1. Open up the pipeline in edit mode
2. Select "Triggers" in the top menu
3. Check the box Enable continuous integration
4. Fill in the branch filters
