You can do this by editing the CloudWatch Event for the pipeline. Using a Lambda function, you can look for a specific type of change in your commit. The example in the link below looks for changes to specific files - so if you change the readme.md file, for example, don't deploy.

You could take this example further and look for specific flags in your commit message, for example.
