Tired of triggering Pipelines on README updates? We've added a file exclusion mechanism to help you focus Pipelines on what matters. The new ignore list lets you exclude specific files and directories from change detection, such as documentation files, test fixtures, or any other non-infrastructure files that change frequently.

Add the ignore_list key to the repository block of your Pipelines config.yml. This supports a comma-separated list of patterns with wildcards, allowing you to exclude files like documentation (**.md), specific files in any directory (README.md,**/README.md), or entire directories and their contents (docs/**). Check out our docs for the complete syntax and additional examples.
