+
+By default, "New commit" or "push" based webhooks will only work on "master"/"main" branches.
+You can configure the branch used by changing "Branch name" in [Git update detection](update_config).

+For example, to support production and beta packages you can have multiple packages with the same VCS repo URL
+but different [Git update detection](update_config) branch names.

+Tag-based webhooks are accepted on any branch.
