How to make CircleCI [1.0] ignore a specific branch?

Question

I have many development branches, but I want CircleCI to care only about master .

Is there something I can customize in either Circle or circle.yml ? Alas, I cannot find anything on this topic in the Circle docs.

Give CircleCI a list of branches that are the only ones that it should automatically build by adding the following to circle.yml :

 general: branches: only: - master

Alternatively, if you have a fixed list of branches that you do not want to create, you can blacklist them with ignore:

 general: branches: ignore: - before-rethinkdb - rethinkdb
