I have a node.js project running on an azure website. Usually I deploy changes with git (e.g. git push azure master). Today I added a new branch 'newbranch' and committed some changes. Afterwards I pushed the changes to the azure website (git push azure dev).
Now I wanted to change the deployment from branch 'master'to branch 'newbranch'. Therefore, I went to the configure tab of my azure website and changed the field ‘branch to deploy’ to 'newbranch' and hit the save button.
But unlike to http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-publish-source-control/ Section "Specifying the branch to use" azure does not start to deploy.
My current workaround is to change a file and do another push. Then the deployment process starts.
My question: Is there a better way to ‘manually’ trigger the deployment process?
Thanks
