Selective build triggering on push

Hello!

When I commit and push, I would like appveyor to start building my project and that works just fine.
However after that, in the on_success tag, I would like to push a newly generated file to my github repo.

on_success:
...
- git push

This time, I do not want a new build to start. Is there way a to manage this? I could only find a solution where no build event triggers when I push, but that is not good for me.
Thank you very much.

   You can take a look at commit filtering based on files here.

   I use the following filter:

   skip_commits:
       message: /PDF/
   ...
   on_success:
   ...
   - git diff-index --quiet HEAD || git commit -am "PDF"
   - git push

   This push still triggers a new build, I might have been missing something.

   Please post the full config file and a link to the build.

   Your project has been added as a generic git project and therefore cannot check out the appveyor.yml before the build to know if it should skip it.
   If you want to use this functionality you should create a repo on GitHub or Bitbucket as those are the two services for which this is supported as hinted at in the titile here.
