Issue

Is there any place where the "develop" branch is configured as a default branch?

Environment

Liferay Cloud

Resolution

The environment variable LCP_CI_DEPLOY_BRANCH is read on the ciservice is responsible for the configured branch. One can change the LCP_CI_DEPLOY_BRANCH value (default is develop)
Why the default is develop?
The entrypoint script for Jenkins in the ci service is responsible for the default branch. If no value is provided, it defaults to “develop”.
```
if (env.BRANCH_NAME == env.LCP_CI_DEPLOY_BRANCH) {
deployToCloud(deployBranch: env.LCP_CI_DEPLOY_BRANCH, deployTarget: env.LCP_CI_DEPLOY_TARGET)
          }
```
