Hi,

Is there any configuration available in Appveyor YAML, where i can set that only commits (any commit) in develop and master branch should trigger CI and any commits in any other branch should not trigger CI.

I tried setting following, but it still triggers the CI, consuming some time of the job before it exits.

-
  branches:
    except:
      - develop
      - master
  
  init:
  - cmd: appveyor exit

   Hi Rohit,

   I don't see your entire appveyor.yml but I guess you are trying to "diverse" and "filter" build jobs depending on branch? If so, I'm afraid it won't work: current implementation is either "specify" or "filter". The way you do it right now with appveyor exit is probably the right thing.
