Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Gitactionboard is probably not well suited for projects where multiple people are working on. The reason is that it will show the green/red status of the last job regardless of the branch from which it has been triggered.
A developer will likely want to see only its own feature/bugfix branch or maybe the main branch.

Describe the solution you'd like
Similar to what proposed in #670 there should be a way to filter by branch. Even having an environment variable to do that would be extremehely useful.

Describe alternatives you've considered
None
