I'm aware of for instance -only that let us running jobs on specific branch or tag.
I'm just wondering whether one can do similar thing with predefined environment variables only.
Well, it's just a matter of curiosity than a real need.

Thanks.

Yes, you can use only:variables:/except:variables: or you can use rules:

myjob:
  # ...
  only:
    variables:
      - $FOO == "bar"

or with rules:

myjob:
  rules:
    - if: '$FOO == "bar"'

You can use most of the predefined variables for use in rules: or only:variables/except:variables:.

You can use variables like CI_COMMIT_BRANCH or CI_COMMIT_TAG to control when a job runs for particular branches/tags.
