  <p>With the following workflow a commit to the <code>devops-docker-intial</code> branch just results in a workflow that is 'created' - it doesn't proceed further... Why?</p>

  With the following workflow a commit to the `devops-docker-intial` branch just results in a workflow that is 'created' - it doesn't proceed further... Why?

  Due to the fact that `build` had a branch filter... Even though no error message on additional info is shown...
  
  Hence I needed to add the branch like so:
  
  ```
  workflows:
    version: 2
    build_deploy_test:
      jobs:
        - build:
            filters:
              branches:
                only:
                  - develop
                  - devops-docker-intial
        - christest:
            requires:
              - install
            filters:
              branches:
                only: devops-docker-intial
  
  ```
