Glob Pattern Reference for Matching Branch, Job, and Pipeline Names

Glob syntax can be used to specify pattern-matching behavior. A glob pattern is specified as a string and is matched against a branch, job, or pipeline name. These wildcard characters can be used in glob patterns:

Wildcard	Description
*	Matches zero or more characters of a name without crossing directory boundaries.
**	Matches zero or more characters of a name crossing directory boundaries.
?	Matches exactly one character.
[]	A bracket expression that matches a single character out of a set of characters or, when the hyphen character is used, a range of characters. For example, [abc] matches "a", "b", or "c". [a-z] specifies a range that matches from "a" to "z", inclusive. Forms can be mixed, so [abce-g] matches "a", "b", "c", "e", "f" or "g". If the character after the left bracket is an exclamation mark (!), it indicates negation, so the expression [!a-c] matches any character except "a", "b", or "c". Within a bracket expression, the *, ? and \ characters match themselves. The (-) character matches itself if it is either the first character within the brackets or the first character after the !, if negating.
{}	Represents a group of subpatterns. The group matches if any subpattern in the group matches. Uses a comma (",") to separate subpatterns. Groups can't be nested.
\	Escapes characters that would otherwise be interpreted as special characters. For example, the expression "\\" matches a single backslash and "\{" matches a left brace.

The forward slash (/) represents the directory separator on all platforms.
