Triggering GitLab push events on multiple branches

Question

How can I set two or more branches to trigger the hook? enter image description here

For example: I have three branches: master; develop and fix. I want the hook to work for master and develop.

gitlab-org/gitlab-foss issue 20338 which introduced "filter push events by branch" in GitLab 11.3 (Sept. 2018) includes:

support for branch patterns with wildcards (*), like we do with protected branches.

So the pattern itself is fairly limited:

| Wildcard Protected Branch | Matching Branches |
|===========================|==================================================|
| *-stable | production-stable, staging-stable |
| production/* | production/app-server, production/load-balancer |
| *gitlab* | gitlab, gitlab/staging, master/gitlab/production |

There is no xxx|yyy or syntax.

In your case, the pattern *e* would be enough to select only master and develop, not fix.

• Andrey RF: I don't think so, bcs if I create a branch with e letter, it will trigger hook too. But I can add one hook to master branch and second hook to develop branch :)
• VonC: @AndreyRF I agree, that was a workaround indeed. Your solution is safer, even if it involves more hooks.
