Allow prebuilds for specific branches

[mikenikles]

In the .gitpod.yml, we have the following option to enable prebuilds on all branches:

github:
  prebuilds:
    branches: true

I would like more granularity either through a regex, an array of branch names or a combination of the two.

Regex

github:
  prebuilds:
    branches: feature/*

Branch names

github:
  prebuilds:
    branches:
      - main
      - gp-code

Combination of regex & array

github:
  prebuilds:
    branches:
      - main
      - gp-code
      - feature/*

A good use case is https://github.com/gitpod-io/openvscode-server. Prebuilds run for the main branch, but not gp-code. The repo has 263 branches, for all but main and gp-code we don't need prebuilds.
