Drone supports defining conditional pipelines to skip commits based on the target branch. If the branch matches the branches: block the pipeline is executed, otherwise it is skipped.

Example skipping a commit when the target branch is not master:

pipeline:
  build:
    image: golang
    commands:
      - go build
      - go test

+branches: master

Example matching multiple target branches:

pipeline:
  build:
    image: golang
    commands:
      - go build
      - go test

+branches: [ master, develop ]

Example uses glob matching:

pipeline:
  build:
    image: golang
    commands:
      - go build
      - go test

+branches: [ master, feature/* ]

Example includes branches:

pipeline:
  build:
    image: golang
    commands:
      - go build
      - go test

+branches:
+  include: [ master, feature/* ]

Example excludes branches:

pipeline:
  build:
    image: golang
    commands:
      - go build
      - go test

+branches:
+  exclude: [ develop, feature/* ]
