About naming conventions
Wildcards are allowed.
Example: “release*” → branches starting with “release”
Example: Target branches ending with “*release” → “release”
Example: Target branches that include “*release*“ → ”release”
You can use ? as any single character.
Example: ”test?” → test + any one character branch can be used as any one character in the target [].
Example: example-[1-3] → target “example1”, “example2” and “example3”
Example: user-[abc] → “user-a”, “user-b” and “user-c”
Order of precedence when multiple rules apply
1. Those not containing the symbols (*,?,[]) take precedence over those containing these symbols.
Example: "release" takes precedence over "*release*".
2. The settings created first take precedence between those that contain symbols.
For example: ``release*'' and ``release?'' will override the configuration created earlier.
