FR: Scheduled builds should support branch patterns

It would be really nice if you could use branch patterns to specify scheduled builds (e.g. build all branches with the prefix foo daily). Currently, it seems the scheduled builds feature only supports hard-coded branch names.

Hi @tbimpro! This is a nice suggestion. But it’s not something we can do within the Buildkite platform — we don’t have direct access to your repository, so can’t iterate your branches.

What you could do is schedule a build which runs a command, and that command can use git to iterate the branches, and then pipeline upload some trigger steps to run a build for each of those branches.
