Executing a continuous integration pipeline based on a type of change to source code

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• receiving a change to source code of a software application, the change to the source code being received in response to a request for changing the source code being generated;
• identifying a type of content included in the change to the source code;
• determining whether the type of content is associated with a prevention of an execution of a continuous integration (CI) pipeline;
• and
• in response to determining whether the type of content is associated with the prevention of the execution of the CI pipeline, performing an action associated with the change to the source code prior to a deployment of the change to the source code.

A system comprising:

• a processing device;
• and
• a memory device that includes instructions executable by the processing device for causing the processing device to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a change to source code of a software application, the change to the source code being received in response to a request for changing the source code being generated;
• identifying a type of content included in the change to the source code;
• determining whether the type of content is associated with a prevention of an execution of a continuous integration (CI) pipeline;
• and
• in response to determining whether the type of content is associated with the prevention of the execution of the CI pipeline, performing an action associated with the change to the source code prior to a deployment of the change to the source code.
