For exemplification purposes, let’s use 5 branches:
master, develop, test1, test2, test3

We need to trigger a build only from two branches: master, develop

  • If we leave the field "Branch Options" with the parameter "Build all" - it will build from all branches.

  • If we leave the field "Branch Options" with the parameter "Build from" - master - it will trigger to build.

  • Jenkins from the master branch, same with develop.

 

There are two ways how to limit the trigger to be triggered only from 2 branches:

  1. Select “Build from“ and enter branch names separated by white space: "master develop"

  2. Select “Build RegExp“ and enter regexp based expression: "master|develop"
