Templates for use with `rules` keyword

Problem to solve

It's hard to figure out how to set up rules correctly, especially if you have only/except already in your head, because it works fundamentally differently. We should update the docs and provide templates to make this first step easier to help people avoid frustration.

Intended users

  • Devon (DevOps Engineer)

User experience goal

Get to first green pipeline with rules more quickly and easily and with less frustration.

Proposal

Add pre-configured templates for building with:

  • Branches and tags
  • Branches, tags, and MRs

Further details

Permissions and Security

N/A since this is just a template change.

Documentation

Will require updating the workflow: rules and rules docs.

Availability & Testing

Does not impact product availability.

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

Getting to your first green pipeline with rules is easier, though we do not currently have a measure for this.

What is the type of buyer?

IC who wants to set up pipelines without frustration.

Is this a cross-stage feature?

No
