[SOLVED] Selectively Deploy Feature Branches on Netlify

Selectively Deploy Feature Branches on Netlify

Following our process on BitBucket, we always create a feature branch named feature/JIRA-23-lost-password (JIRA-23-lost-password being just an example) from which we create several other branches per sub-task.

I would like netlify to automatically deploy all branches that are named feature/* but not all the ones that branch from the feature branch.

Is that possible?

Solution

Full disclosure: I work at Netlify.

This type of fine grained control doesn't exist currently. The options which are available at this time are:

only deploy the production branch you select (one branch only - it doesn't have to be master)
automatically deploy all branches
only deploy branches you select

It sounds like you are looking for a fourth option (one which doesn't exist at this time). We have an open feature request for more fine grained control of which branches are deployed and we'll follow-up here if/when this feature gets added to our service.
