Use rules to include or exclude jobs in pipelines.
Rules are evaluated in order until the first match. When a match is found, the job is either included or excluded from the pipeline, depending on the configuration. The job can also have certain attributes added to it.
rules replaces only/except and they can’t be used together in the same job. If you configure one job to use both keywords, the linter returns a key may not be used with rules error.
GitLab 12.3 introduced rules. You can use them in your .gitlab-ci.yml in your project.
To limit test runs to merge requests and the master branch, you can write this:
tests:
script: bundle exec rake tests
rules:
- if: '$CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == "master"'
- if: '$CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "merge_request_event"'
