Need a way to disable Google Cloud Build checks on a Github Repository after enabling them

[Joe Marty]

I've installed the Google Cloud Build app from Github Marketplace, and enabled it on several repositories, only to discover that enabling access for those repositories automatically starts running the Google Cloud Build "check" after every PR or push to a PR.  Since some of those repositories are not actually ready for Google Cloud build, I needed to turn off the checks... I used the URL mentioned in the docs to get to the page where you can select which repositories should be connected to your GCP project, and unchecked a bunch of them... this disconnected them from the project, but, surprisingly, did not disable the Github checks!  So now, there are Github checks on several repositories that just result in an error because they're not connected to any projects in Cloud Build.

Surely, it will be a common use case to need a way to "disable Checks" on a per-repository basis - is there any way to do that?  If not, consider it a requested feature! ;)

I did talk to chat support, and the only way we could figure out to remove the checks would be to uninstall Google Cloud Build completely from the entire organization, which I don't want to do because we *do* have some setup that I want to keep, and I don't know how much of that configuration would have to be redone if I uninstalled it completely.

Hello Joe,

Please note that Google Groups are reserved for general Google Cloud Platform-end product discussions and not for technical issues, which is why I suggest moving the troubleshooting to Stackoverflow to obtain assistance from our programming community for your question.
