Are there any way to instruct the pipeline to only do a step for certain tags that matches a regex? I would like it to do a deploy when I push a tag on the format 1.2.3 (for example) are there any way to do this?

This should only be run for refs that are not branches named matching the given regex.

   job:
      only:
        - /^(\d+\.)?(\d+\.)?(\*|\d+)$/
      except:
        - branches
