Appwrite now supports **Git deployment triggers** for Functions and Sites. Use **branch filters** and **path filters** to control which Git pushes and pull requests create automatic deployments.

- **Branch filters** match branch names, such as `main`, `staging`, or `preview/**`.
- **Path filters** match changed files, such as `apps/web/**`, `functions/api/**`, or `packages/shared/**`.

You can prefix a pattern with `!` to exclude matching branches or paths.

This is especially useful for monorepos, staging branches, preview workflows, and projects where a change to one folder should not rebuild every connected Function or Site.
