Using branch filters
Cloud Server v3.x Branch-filtering to control when job steps will run
Branch filtering has previously only been available for workflows, but with compile-time logic statements, you can also implement branch filtering for job steps.
The following example shows using the pipeline value pipeline.git.branch to control when a step should run. In this case the step run: echo "I am on main" only runs when the commit is on the main branch:
version: 2.1
jobs:
my-job:
docker:
- image: cimg/base:stable
auth:
username: mydockerhub-user
password: $DOCKERHUB_PASSWORD # context / project UI env-var reference
steps:
- checkout
- when:
condition:
equal: [ main, << pipeline.git.branch >> ]
steps:
- run: echo "I am on main"
workflows:
my-workflow:
jobs:
