What order are pipelines executed in?

Question

The pipelines page states that steps and scripts are executed in the order they appear in the file.

But it does not say anything about the order that each pipeline is executed in.

If I have the following, will develop steps always be executed after default steps?

pipelines

default

branches

develop

Also, will develop steps only be executed when commits are pushed or merged to develop, or will they now execute every time?

So if the develop branch changes, only the develop pipeline runs?

So if I want develop to include the same steps/scripts as default, I have to repeat them?

Is there any way to not repeat steps/scripts?

The default pipeline is optional and the fall back pipeline used when no branch pipeline is defined.

In your scenario, the develop pipeline will run whenever the branch develop changes. For all other branches changed, the default pipeline will run.

Hope that helps!
