GitHub Actions push event branches filter deleted true head_commit null workflow syntax

💡 Result:

When a Git branch is deleted, GitHub triggers a push event in addition to a delete event [1][2]. In this push event, the payload's head_commit field is null because there is no head commit remaining for the deleted reference [2][3]. Key Technical Details: - Push Event Behavior: Because a branch deletion involves updating the repository's state, it is technically classified as a push event [1][2]. If your workflow uses filters like branches or paths, this push event may still trigger your workflow [1][4], often leading to errors or unexpected behavior if your script attempts to access fields like head_commit (which will be null) [5]. - Filtering Deleted Branches: To prevent a workflow from running when a branch is deleted, you can add a conditional check in your job using the GitHub context [1][6]. For example: if: ${{!github.event.deleted }} - Handling Deletions Specifically: If you need to react specifically to a branch deletion (e.g., to clean up resources), it is recommended to use the delete event instead of the push event [2][6]. Note that the delete event only triggers workflows that are defined in the repository's default branch [7]. Example workflow configuration to ignore branch deletions: jobs: my-job: if: ${{!github.event.deleted }} runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - run: echo "This only runs for standard pushes." Example workflow configuration to handle deletions: on: delete: jobs: cleanup: if: ${{ github.event.ref_type == 'branch' }} runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - run: echo "Branch deleted: ${{ github.event.ref }}"

Exclude branch-deletion events explicitly.

push.branches: ['**'] does not exclude branch-deletion events. When PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED is true, the notify job can run with github.event.head_commit set to null, which can produce an email without a head-commit message. Add !github.event.deleted to the job condition.

In @.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml at line 15, Update the notify job
condition in the push workflow to require that github.event.deleted is false,
while preserving the existing PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED and push-event checks so
branch-deletion events cannot trigger email notifications.

concurrency:
# Deliberately per-RUN, so no run is ever queued behind another and none is
# ever cancelled. Do NOT "tidy" this into a shared group such as
# ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }}. GitHub's workflow-syntax docs:
# "By default, any existing pending job or workflow in the same concurrency
# group will be canceled and the new queued job or workflow will take its
# place." That happens regardless of cancel-in-progress, which governs only
# the RUNNING job. On this workflow it silently loses a notification email,
# with no error anywhere. Every run here reports a DISTINCT commit, so there
# is no redundant work for a concurrency limit to remove.
# The docs also offer `queue: max` (up to 100 pending); not used, because 100
# is still a cap whereas a per-run group needs none.
# Verified with zizmor 1.30.0: deleting this block raises concurrency-limits;
# this form silences it exactly as a shared group would.

Confirm the SMTP endpoint before enabling notifications.

The workflow passes SMTP_HOST and SMTP_PORT to the pinned action with secure: true. The action uses implicit TLS and AUTH PLAIN; it does not implement STARTTLS or AUTH LOGIN. A 587/STARTTLS endpoint or Microsoft 365 can therefore cause the notification job to fail. Confirm the endpoint and run one enabled end-to-end notification before merge.
