Hello @Gaurav ,

Hope you are doing great! Thanks for reaching out to us.

I see that you have created a new Organization, new project and a new repository in the project. Hence, you should be having a master branch by default in your repository.

To create a new branch, follow below steps:

• Navigate to Repos > Branches in the left pane.
• Click on New Branch button on the top right.
• A dialog box will appear like below: Provide a unique name/path (Name) for your branch, select a base branch (Based On) from the drop down (I have chosen master), optionally choose a work item to link and click on Create button.
• Your branch will be created in the specified path.

To access branch settings:

• Navigate to Repos > Branches in the left pane.
• Hover over the branch name in the list, setting of which you want to access. Click on the three dots that appear on the right: You will have different settings for the branch in a context menu:

Let me know if this answers your question.

Hi Gaurav,

Azure DevOps / repos related questions are not supported on this forum. It's better to reach out to dedicated forum over here:
