drone.io: disable/enable builds for some branches

For some projects I use the CI service drone.io. Currently every time I make a commit to any of my branches, drone.io launches a build process. In some situations I consider this a waste of energy and resources and thus want to prevent unnecessary builds. Such situations are e.g.: Changed typos in README.md, working on a new feature and thereby committing some immature code

As far as I know there is no branch-wise configuration. However, this thread in the support forum indicates that via the .drone.yml some fine tuning seems possible. But still I do not know how to enable/disable builds on branch-level.

Alternatively, using some special tag in the commit message would also work for me.

You can use the where trigger to target a particular branch only, see where for the documentation.

Using where & branch you can trigger drone builds for changes to e.g. master only to cut down on unwanted builds. Try adding a block like this:

trigger:
  branch:
  - master
