The field accepts a regexp pattern. Here are some examples:

^(?!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:
