Hello,

which pattern rules / regex engine is used to process the pattern? I can not find anything in the documentation.

Hi,

I believe we built our own engines, but which languages are you interested in?

I would like to know the pattern rules so that I know how to write the patterns. Which metacharacters etc. are supported?

Hi,

That should be documented in the rule description.

Where? I can not find it!

Hi,

Sorry, I saw the word “rules” in your initial post and I immediately lost sight of the fact that your thread title explicitly says “Long-lived branches pattern”.

Unfortunately, I still can’t tell you anything about the engine used to parse it, but based on the default value, (branch|release)-.*, I think it’s going to be pretty standard.

 
HTH,
Ann
