I'd also like to give a +1 that it's a bummer I can't turn these off. I'm using my own custom notification, so having these in there as well creates confusing clutter that I have to explain to my coworkers.

I can see the PR has been closed. Are there still plans to implement this improvement ? stephenconnolly vlatombe

There is a plugin that can provide this as a trait to the Github branch source.

https://github.com/bluesliverx/disable-github-multibranch-status-plugin

I didn't notice this ticket until now - I just implemented a somewhat more flexible version of this as a PR to github-branch-source in JENKINS-48408 (oops).

https://github.com/jenkinsci/github-branch-source-plugin/pull/169

The advantage is that you get an option to hide the Jenkins URL but still have notifications in github.

This is unfortunate to see this isn't implemented.  I think this is a use case that is strong enough to be documented.  There is no mention on the documentation on how to turn this automatic setting off: https://go.cloudbees.com/docs/plugins/github-branch-source/

Also most of us working with setting our own status's are using this plugin documentation: https://plugins.jenkins.io/github

So basically we have 2 plugins at play now to do proper customized commit status's.  Now for us to turn off the default Status, we need to use a third one from jamesdumay.

While I realize this is resolved, one must ask, why is this level of customization (3) plugins required to send only the notifications I want to Github when using the github-branch-source plugin....?  As usual, yes make the defaults easy for new users, but asking for an ability to turn off a default (default status notification) seems prudent from the end user community trying to customize their business's workflow.
