Today I wanted to change my default branch on azure devops, after digging into the settings I found a solution, here it is!

Step 1

Go to your project settings, you can find it at the bottom of your menu:

Step 2

Click on Repositories:

Open the branches of the project. To set a different branch as the compare branch, select the branch in the reference and click on the three dot icon:

You should get the option “Set as default branch”

That’s all, Azure Devops will select the default branch when making a pull request!

Happy Programming!
