When using the `push` and `pull_request` events, you can configure a workflow to run on specific branches or tags. For a `pull_request` event, only branches and tags on the base are evaluated. If you define only `tags` or only `branches`, the workflow won't run for events affecting the undefined Git ref.
The `branches`, `branches-ignore`, `tags`, and `tags-ignore` keywords accept glob patterns that use the `*` and `**` wildcard characters to match more than one branch or tag name. For more information, see the "[Filter pattern cheat sheet](#filter-pattern-cheat-sheet)."
