Hello, I don’t want my builds to run (clog up the queue) when I do a simple push of a markdown into a docs folder. This is easy enough to do by enabling selective builds and picking in the folders I want to it run for; but that leaves me with the problem of Github waiting for a build result back for that particular PR (which will never be built on Bitrise). So; I wan’t to be able to merge PR’s into master to a certain directory without triggering a build on Bitrise but still not be blocked off by Github demanding a successful build from Bitrise on PR’s. Is there a way for Bitrise to report successfully back without building using selective builds? Should I add a workflow step with a script that checks what was being changed (using some kind of diff?) and have that skip the rest of the steps? Any other clever solutions? 😁 ---

You can use [Skip a build](https://devcenter.bitrise.io/tips-and-tricks/skip-a-build/) feature. ---

Yes, that still gives me the same problem of no status being reported back to github, so merging is still blocked. ---

Sorry, I misunderstood the full question. It is possible to achieve effect like you said: > [@ragnaradolf](#): > > Should I add a workflow step with a script that checks what was being changed (using some kind of diff?) and have that skip the rest of the steps? You can creare such step, export appropriate environment variable with envman and add `run_if` to rest of the steps. Here is relevant documentation: [https://github.com/bitrise-io/devcenter/blob/master/\_articles/tips-and-tricks/disable-a-step-by-condition.md](https://github.com/bitrise-io/devcenter/blob/master/_articles/tips-and-tricks/disable-a-step-by-condition.md) ---
