Config file with multiple jobs, want to make 1 of those jobs branch exclusive

Hi @JPGR94, welcome to Discuss!

You can get close to what you are looking for with advanced conditional logic – I say ‘close’ since the job will still run, but the actual steps you want isolated to the specific branch will only run on that branch.

As an example (note: you have to have at least one step outside the when condition, hence my note above about it being ‘close’):

version: 2.1

jobs:
  job-1:
    docker:
      - image: cimg/base:stable
    steps:
      - run: echo "at least one step"
      - when:
          condition:
            equal: [ default, << pipeline.git.branch >> ]
          steps:
            - run: echo "I am on default"
            - checkout
  
  job-2:
    docker:
      - image: cimg/base:stable
    steps:
      - checkout
      - run: echo "always runs"

workflows:
  run-jobs:
    jobs:
      - job-1
      - job-2

With the above setup both jobs will always run, however the - checkout and - run: echo "I am on default" steps for job-1 will only ever trigger when the branch is default.

I also wrote this support article that details the advanced logic a bit more, you may get some more ideas there.

I hope that helps and please let me know if you need anything else!
