Stormkit users now have more flexibility on what branches to deploy automatically. To use this new feature, visit your application's page and click on Edit configuration on the environment that you would like to modify and find the Auto Deploy Branches field to instruct Stormkit for which branches auto deployments are turned on. The field accepts a regexp pattern. Here are some examples:

^dependabot/.*             # Deploy only branches that start with dependabot/
^(?!dependabot|renovate).* # Deploy all branches that do not start with dependabot or renovate
release-*                  # Deploy all branches that start with release-

The logic to determine whether a branch should be automatically deployed or not is depicted in the following diagram:

curl -XPOST https://api.stormkit.io/hooks/app/:app-id/deploy/:token/:environment-id \
