Sometimes I want to skip the tests of a build because they take too long and don't actually cover the changes I just made. When this happens, I just want to execute the build and deploy steps. I don't always want this behavior, so skipping the step in pipeline.yml doesn't make sense.

It'd be great if next to the Cancel button is a Skip button.

Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback and suggestion @elijahchancey.

If you wanted to make your pipeline automatically skip the checks that you don't need to do, you could use dynamic pipelines and conditional include/exclude steps as you need: https://buildkite.com/docs/pipelines/defining-steps#dynamic-pipelines
