Gitversion: Configure GitVersion default tag

[MrHinsh]

I am struggling with the configuration to reach a desired outcome. I want to have every branch except MASTER use 'Preview' as the "tag" adn MASTER to have no tag. I have MASTER working, but can figure out how to get other branches to use the fallback-tag or to configure it differently...

assembly-versioning-scheme: MajorMinorPatch
mode: ContinuousDeployment
continuous-delivery-fallback-tag: 'Preview'
next-version: 0.1.0
branches:
  master:
    mode: ContinuousDeployment
    tag: ''
ignore:
  sha: []

@MrHinsh: The problem is that the tag property is not allowed at root?

I suppose you can create a branch regex matching all branches, but sort of related to #881, there's no built-in smarts running the matches in several passes, weighing them on specificity or anything similar, so it's highly likely that it's not going to work.

Is it possible to do something like:

assembly-versioning-scheme: MajorMinorPatch
mode: ContinuousDeployment
continuous-delivery-fallback-tag: ''
next-version: 0.3.0
branches:
  master:
    mode: ContinuousDeployment
    tag: ''
  feature:
   regex: !master
    mode: ContinuousDeployment
     tag: 'Preview'
ignore:
  sha: []

This errors out... cant I do negative matches?

Also... why do I get : Exception during deserialization ---> System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException: Property 'regex' not found on type 'GitVersion.BranchConfig'.

OK... switched to old 3.0 format, and still cant get the beast to work:

assembly-versioning-scheme: MajorMinorPatch
mode: ContinuousDeployment
continuous-delivery-fallback-tag: ''
next-version: 0.3.0
branches:
  master:
    mode: ContinuousDeployment
    tag: ''
  (!master)?[/-]:
     tag: 'Preview'
  (fix)?[/-]:
     tag: 'Preview'
ignore:
  sha: []

[MrHinsh]

OK! So figured it out!

assembly-versioning-scheme: MajorMinorPatch
mode: ContinuousDeployment
continuous-delivery-fallback-tag: ''
next-version: 0.3.0
branches:
  master:
    mode: ContinuousDeployment
    tag: ''
  (!master)?:
     tag: 'Preview'
ignore:
  sha: []

Use "(!master)?:" as the branch name and I get the desired effect. All branches other than Master take on the Preview tag...
