Editing Global Exclusions

To review and modify the list of excluded branches:

3. Scroll down to the Exclude Branches section.
4. Use regular expressions to add or remove repositories from the exclusion list.
5. Click Save.
   Branches listed in the Exclude Branches list will not appear in your dashboards or reports, and their commits will be excluded from metrics.

Setting Exclusions for Specific Repositories

To exclude branches from a particular repository or to override global exclusions:

1. Go to Company Settings > Git.
2. Click the three dots next to the repository you want to set exclusions for, and select Monitoring Rules. The Company Settings window opens.
3. In the Monitoring Rules Form, use regular expressions to exclude repositories as they are discovered.
4. Click Save & Close. Any changes made here will override the global exclusion rules for that repository.

This will open a settings page with an Exclude Branches section specific to the repository. Any changes made here will override the global exclusion rules for that repository.

Excluding a Specific Branch

Admins or Editors can manually exclude individual branches directly:

1. In the LinearB side menu, click Metrics, and select Git Activity.
2. Click the three dots next to the branch you want to exclude, and select Exclude from cycle time calculation.

1. When prompted click Save.

Manually excluded branches are marked with an orange dot next to the cycle time calculation.

To reinstate a manually excluded branch into cycle time metrics:

2. Select Cancel branch exclusion.
