Limit pipelines to a specific branch

James Wallace2

This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: Configure bitbucket-pipelines.yml

Is there a way to disable pipelines for specific branches?  Or, only enable for one specific branch?  We'd like to only have pipelines run on our 'master' branch for now, and ignore everything else.  

Tried adding a default that simply has an echo statement in the script, but it still spends a lot of time spinning up a docker, just to do that echo.  Seems like a waste of resources?

Hi James

You sure can limit pipelines to run only when certain branches change.

Here's an example of a bitbucket-pipelines.yml that only runs when master is pushed

pipelines:
  branches:
    master:
      - step:
          script:
            - echo "only on master"

With this configuration, if I push another branch, it won't be built.
