Branches Now Displayed in Branch Picker Regardless of Trigger Settings

May 20, 2025

Enhancement

We’ve enhanced our platform to ensure branches appear in the branch picker dropdown even when they don’t trigger a pipeline build due to trigger settings like “Only build PRs” or “CI Skip” being enabled.

What’s Changed

Previously, when a new branch was created but didn’t trigger a build due to trigger settings (such as “Only build PRs” or commits with “[ci skip]”), the branch wouldn’t appear in the branch picker dropdown in the CircleCI UI. This made it difficult for users to manually trigger builds on these branches, as they would need to use the API instead.

Now, branches will appear in the branch picker regardless of whether they’ve triggered a pipeline, making it easier to manually trigger builds through the UI.

  • No action is required to benefit from this change
  • Branches will now appear in the branch picker dropdown even if they haven’t triggered a pipeline
  • This applies to GitHub OAuth integrations
