Hi :)

What's the difference, please? I've read the docs about this and understand what a default branch is ... but then see the Branches to build and i'm not sure if they are mutually exclusive or what?

In our setup, we have a number of branches..
- master - dev - appveyor_testing - etc...

so what's the diff, please?

   Default branch is a branch which used when you click "Run build" button.

   And the branches to build option?

   It's a filter, essentially.

   this?

   • Default Branch: this is the branch to build when u click RUN = Manual start.
   • 'Branches to Build`: these are the branches to build when a commit happens = Automated start

   Branch to build is being taken from webhook, but Branches to Build list serves as a filter.
