Can you abort an active build?

My question in a little more detail

A good question from Ovie Okeh on twitter:

Are there any plans in the future to allow developers to kill a build process manually? That seems like a pretty important functionality.

This seems very critical for usability.

I'm trying to fix an issue on my Netlify build process, but I end up with deploys that get stuck, and I have no way to abort them. My only option is to wait 30 minutes for them to timeout 😞 .

^^ I agree with this - in my case I was new to the platform and changed my build command to the following, thinking that's how you would get it to run tests;

npm run test && npm run build

The effect this was having was that it would hang the builds. By the time I realised my mistake I'd built up a backlog of 5 builds with no way to abort them :(

You can now!
