Multibranch pipelines assume that you want to build all branches that include a Jenkinsfile any time the notification is received through notifyCommit or through a Web Hook. If you do not want one or more branches built on multibranch pipelines, you'll need to exclude them. The Basic Branch Build Strategies plugin ( https://github.com/jenkinsci/basic-branch-build-strategies-plugin/blob/master/docs/user.adoc) provides many branch selection options.
