Git flow release branch

Question

I'm implementing git flow on my company and with this collection, but on github there's a behavior that I couldn't work with on github actions workflow.

When starting a new release, git flow release start 1.0.0 the branch is created as release/1.0.0. This happened only when I started a fresh repo with git flow, all the others repos where created on bitbucket and later imported to github.

Those others imported came with branch name release and the version were tags.

The trigger on the workflow file is:

name: Release

on:
  push:
    branches: [ release ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ release ] 

But I've already tried, based on the docs:

[ release/*.*.* ]
[ release/* ]
[ release/1.0.0 ]

None worked, for a workaround I deleted the weird branch and created a release branch.

How about this using **?

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - 'release/**'
