Skipping the first build on first branch indexing
Jenkins now supports a build‑branch strategy to skip the initial build that runs when a multibranch job first indexes its branches. Install branch‑api 2.3.0+ and basic‑branch‑build‑strategies 1.3.0+, then enable **Skip initial build on first branch indexing** in the job’s Build strategies UI. The strategy works by overriding `BranchBuildStrategy.isAutomaticBuild` in the plugin code.
