To apply multiple actions to repositories using bulk operations, you need to open the Bulk Operations page from the sidebar. Here you can set a custom schedule, change the backup storage, or update retention policy for multiple repositories at once. Also, you can enable or disable the automated daily backups for multiple repositories.

Repository Filters

To apply bulk operations, you can select the account for which you want to perform the action. You can also filter repositories by name pattern. This way, you can select only the repositories that match the pattern.

Repository name pattern accepts wildcard characters and a comma character to join multiple queries.

Wildcard characters:

• * - zero or more characters

• ? - exactly one character

• , - specify multiple queries separated by a comma

Examples:

Considering the selected account has 4 repositories awesome, awesome-repos, books and static-website-example, the given patterns will match the following repositories:

• * - matches all repositories

• awe* - matches awesome and awesome-repos

• awe*,book - matches awesome, awesome-repos and book

• *b* - matches book and static-website-example
