## General Information

The non-traversable GH\_MatchesEnvironmentPolicy edge links a branch to a GitHub Environment deployment branch policy that it satisfies.

This edge is emitted when a branch name matches the pattern defined by a [GH\_EnvironmentBranchPolicy](/opengraph/extensions/github/nodes/gh_environmentbranchpolicy) node, such as `main`, `release/*`, or `release/**/*`. The edge is structural rather than directly traversable because matching a policy alone does not guarantee deployment access; the environment may still require protected branches, reviewers, wait timers, or other controls.

GH\_MatchesEnvironmentPolicy is primarily used as supporting evidence for computed [GH\_CanDeployToEnvironment](/opengraph/extensions/github/edges/gh_candeploytoenvironment) edges.
