Add a Build Pipeline to an existing branch

In Azure Devops, when i view a branch Repos->Branches->Select a branch i was able to click Set up build. However, i am not able to choose an existing pipeline there.

When i select a pipeline Pipeline->Edit->Triggers i can add Branch filters aswell as path filters, however those do not take effect.

I tried to add filters for release/my-release aswell as release/* or a path-filter release.

I want to be able to start a pipeline from the Branch overview. What do i have to do?

If you're using YAML pipelines, e.g. azure-pipeline.yml, make sure this file is also available in your branch.

If the pipeline YAML was added to main after you've branched the release branches, the build will never trigger. Because the branch doesn't have the pipeline YAML .

Furthermore the triggers of the YAML should be specified in the YAML instead of Pipeline->Edit->Triggers.

Example:

    trigger:
      branches:
        include:
        - master
        - release/*

Don't forget to turn off the "Override the YAML continuous integration trigger from here" Option: Override the YAML continuous integration trigger from here ON must be OFF
