# Ignoring a Commit

Some code changes don't really require a full build - editing documentation for example. If you want Buildkite to ignore a commit and not build it, simply add `[ci skip]` or `[skip ci]` somewhere in the commit message.
Buildkite won't build this commit or store it in the build history.

In GitHub, it would look something like this:

<%= image "github_example.png" %>

# Ignoring a Commit

Some code changes, such as editing a Readme, may not require a Buildkite build. If you want Buildkite to ignore a commit, add `[ci skip]` or `[skip ci]` anywhere in the commit message.

For example, the following commit message will cause Buildkite to ignore the commit and not create a corresponding build:

```
Fix readme typos [skip ci]
```

Multi-line commit messages are also supported. For example, the following commit message will also cause Buildkite to ignore the commit:

```
Fix readme typos

* Fixed the build badge
* Fixed broken GitHub link

[skip ci]
```
