Hi,

When I go to https://github.com/:org/:repo/actions I'd like to have a way to filter branches with a wildcard (e.g. branch:release* or branch:feature*).

I'm surprised that I haven't found a way to do it... Is there a way to do that already?

Hi @trash-anger,
Sorry, GH Actions currently does not support wildcards on that input.

Is there a plan to support that?

That should be super easy to implement and right now, having a templatized pipeline that run on all branches is a mess because there's no way to retrieve the execution on a set of multiple branches organized (e.g. feature/* hotfix/* release/*).

Hi @diegocatao,
Do you know if there's an ETA for that? It seems quitte easy to implement and it would be super valuable! Don't you think?

you cool

+1 that this would be very useful.

Either making the head:HEAD_BRANCH and base:BASE_BRANCH take a wildcard syntax, or extending the in qualifier so it can search in those branch names (in addition to title/body/comments).
