Summary
The purpose of this KB is to provide few examples on how to use the regex pattern matching in Bamboo for matching the branch names.
Environment
This has been tested on Bamboo 9.6.4 but the solution will work for other supported version of Bamboo.
Solution
- One of the use cases of regex is to match the branch name as a variable in Bamboo, please see the example below ( here we are matching the branch name which starts with issue keyword )
^.*issue.*
2. Another possible use case is during the creation of plan branches in Bamboo ( here we are creating a new branch in Bamboo when the source repository branch matches the keyword starting with text pssrv )
3. If there are multiple branches for which the regex needs to be matched, then you can use the below
^production.*|^main.*
Here branches have name starting with production and main
