For example, if `CI_BRANCHES` was set to `maint next seen`, a branch called `see` would be a false match. Due to the absence of a `concat()` function (for more details, see https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/expressions#functions), I fear that we'll have to resort to something like `contains(format(' {0} ', vars.CI_BRANCHES), format(' {0} ', github.ref_name))`. Ciao, Johannes
