Branch Name Pattern Not Explained

[theduke]

The "Branch name pattern" setting in repositories is not explained in the UI.

Is it a glob? Is it a regex?

There should be a link to documentation in the UI.

It's a weird thing in between, but a simple * glob should work. 😅 The documentation describes it here: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/configuring-branches-and-merges-in-your-repository/defining-the-mergeability-of-pull-requests/managing-a-branch-protection-rule#about-branch-protection-rules

I actually know about the documentation, this is more just a suggestion to add a link to it in the UI.
