I'm creating build definitions in vsts. I'm using $(Rev:.r) as my build number format. I want to be able to use this scheme separately for each branch. For example if i have 3 branches, master/develop/feature Master builds start from 1,2,3 Develop builds start from 1,2,3 Feature builds start from 1,2,3

Remember that Build number format can be configured at the Build definition level.
You can simply create a separate build definition for each branch.
- Build Definition for master
- Build Definition for develop
- Build definition for feature
With the Build#Format as $(Rev:.r)
So theres an update in a recent release that mitigates this to some degree. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/release-notes/2018/sprint-142-update#add-custom-build-counters-to-your-builds
With this, you can use a build number format like $(Build.SourceBranchName)-$(rev:r)
if you have 3 branches test1,test2,test3, you build nos will be like test1-1 test1-2 test1-3 and so on test2-1 test2-2 test2-3 and so on test3-1 test3-2 test3-3 and so on
