How can I check for the existence of wikldcard strings in a list of multiple strings?

Question

Say I have the bash command

git branch --format='%(refname:short)\\EL' --contains > branchoutputs.txt || git rev-parse HEAD

Where the output might look like this:

develop\\EL
feat/some-feature\\EL
feat/another-thing\\EL
someName/another-branch-name\\EL

How can I make that at least one of these conditions is true?

Match develop\\EL
Match feat/*\\EL

Otherwise return false basically.

You may find what you need by reading the man page for grep. — Jim L.

Late reply, however this command command might help:

grep -E ^(develop|feat\/.*)\\\\EL$

You may need to add more options, such as -q or --quiet if you do not want grep to write errors and/or matching lines to standard output. As suggested by @jim-l, consult your local manual for more information (i.e man grep or info grep).
