Trigger build only before merging

[jonathan-boudreau-work]

We have expensive build steps which we don't want to run on every commit. At the same time we want to run these build steps before merging, since they are likely to catch bugs we don't want in trunk.

With bors-ng, it is possible to do this by defining a build which only runs on the trying or staging branches. How would I do this with kodiak?

I think this is less of a Kodiak question and more of a continuous integration (CI) question.

I think with GitHub Actions or CircleCI you can configure CI jobs to run on certain branches. Would that work for you?

[jonathan-boudreau-work]

Yes that is correct,does kodiak support this?

[chdsbd]

Yes, assuming you configure your CI provider to run CI jobs on certain branches, Kodiak will support that
