Push to remote: don't trigger when the branch was just updated by "Pull from remote" (OD-2553)

This is the current workflow:

User pushes on OneDev -> OneDev immediately force-pushes to GitHub
User pushes on GitHub -> Webhook is triggered on OneDev -> OneDev pulls everything (all branches) from GitHub

Unfortunately in the second case OneDev still pushes to GitHub afterwards. This results in loss of commits when a user on GitHub makes more than one in a row.

Is there a way to set it up so that the "Push to remote" job is not triggered if the branch was last updated by the "Pull from remote" one?

This can be addressed in 13.0.0:

Create a special user with permission to manage the project, and then generate an access token for the user

Create a job secret for the access token in the project

Configure the pull repository step to use the job secret for property access token for target project

Configure the branch update trigger to exclude this special user by specifying applicable users as any except user(<user name>)

Thank you very much!

I already had a special user, I simply had to add the exception to the branch trigger:

anyone except user(admin)
