This is not the same as what in CircleCI's implementation and will not work as required (we need to allow 1.x, 2.x etc branches, for example).

GHA does not support regex in branch names as CircleCI does.

But it supports filter patterns: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#filter-pattern-cheat-sheet

Please update these to support those patterns

Hi @AlexSkrypnyk

Yes. Sorry I forgot inform you on that.
Because the if condition in job does not support regex so I made it simple as I setup in If condition of deploy job. I thought that if user use this project they can update exactly branch name to make GHA work.

But anyway, I have updated the filter of branches for match as CircleCi as your comment now.
Could you please review it ?
Thank you.

this logic needs to be updated to match the branches wildcards above

Hi @AlexSkrypnyk

Currently, I am stuck with this one as original because If in Job does not support regex. So I just leave as simple matching now then user can free to update the condition later.

Or can you give some idea to win this one ?

This is how this could have been done

jobs:
  setup:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    outputs:
      isVersionBranch: ${{ steps.check_branch.outputs.isVersionBranch }}
    steps:
      - id: check_branch
        run: |
          if [[ "${{ github.ref }}" =~ refs/heads/([0-9]+\.x(-[0-9]+\.x)?|[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.x) ]]; then
            echo "isVersionBranch=true" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
          else
            echo "isVersionBranch=false" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
          fi

  version-specific-job:
    needs: setup
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    if: needs.setup.outputs.isVersionBranch == 'true'
    steps:
      - name: Run version-specific tasks
        run: echo "Running tasks for version branches"

After reading your comment

I thought that if user use this project they can update exactly branch name to make GHA work.

I think that the branch naming needs to be updated so that the conusmer's GitHub repo branch is 1.x and not main, then the branch on D.O. would be the same.

So, I will merge this as is and will adjust branches accordingly.

Thank you for working on this.
