Only PushArtifact on master branch

I have some commands that I'd like to run under the after_test portion of the appveyor.yml file:

  - cd %APPVEYOR_BUILD_FOLDER%
  # Create a nupkg. The install directory is to be packaged.
  - nuget pack .simbody.nuspec -BasePath C:\simbody
  # The line above creates the file simbody.0.0.0.nupkg.
  # Push this to Appveyor's NuGet account feed, to be used by OpenSim.
  - appveyor PushArtifact simbody.0.0.0.nupkg

However, I only want these lines to run on the master branch.

What is the easiest way to do this? I'd prefer not to start each of the above lines with "IF "%APPVEYOR_REPO_BRANCH%"=master (my knowledge of batch is not good).

I know I can create a NuGet deployment that only runs on certain branches, but I'd prefer to use the PushArtifact one-liner, which allows me to not specify ApiKey, source URL, etc.

Thank you!

   I know one option is to have two sections in my yaml file, one for the master branch ando one for all others. However, I want to avoid copying and pasting my entire script for the master branch.

   Yes, you can test APPVEYOR_REPO_BRANCH variable. I'm not a batch fan too, so I'd do it with PowerShell :)

   if($env:APPVEYOR_REPO_BRANCH -eq 'master') {
      #do this
   }

   Thanks Feodor, that worked. The issue is now that I only want to execute some commands on the master branch, AND if the build is NOT part of a pull request. The value of APPVEYOR_REPO_BRANCH is master if a PR is merging into master, but I don't want to run these certain commands on PR's.

   So I was thinking I could check the value of APPVEYOR_PULL_REQUEST_NUMBER. What is the value of the variable if NOT building a PR? Is the variable undefined? Is it 0?

   It's undefined.
