GitHub Actions push event branch filters deleted branch head_commit null github.event.deleted

💡 Result:

When a branch is deleted, GitHub triggers a push event [1][2], but because the branch effectively no longer exists as a valid reference, the head_commit object in the webhook payload becomes null [2]. Key details regarding this behavior include: 1. Payload Limitations: In a push event triggered by a branch deletion, the head_commit field in the github.event context is null [2]. This is expected behavior as there is no longer a "tip" commit on that specific reference [3]. 2. Contextual Data: While github.event.head_commit is unavailable, you can still identify the deleted branch using github.event.ref (which contains the full reference, e.g., refs/heads/branch-name) [1][4]. 3. Workflow Filtering: If you want to prevent your workflow from running on branch deletions, you can use a conditional if expression to check the deleted property of the push event [1]: if: ${{!github.event.deleted }} 4. Alternative Event: If your primary goal is to respond to branch deletions (e.g., for cleanup tasks), it is often more reliable to use the delete event instead of relying on the push event [4]. The delete event allows you to filter specifically for branches using github.event.ref_type == 'branch' [4]. Example of handling deletions: on: delete: jobs: cleanup: if: github.event.ref_type == 'branch' runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - run: echo "Cleaning up branch ${{ github.event.ref }}"

Citations:

Exclude branch deletions explicitly.

branches: ['**'] does not exclude deleted branch push events. For a deleted branch, github.event.head_commit can be null, so the workflow can send an email without a head message. Add !github.event.deleted to the job condition.

In @.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml at line 15, Update the job condition
in the push notification workflow to require github.event.deleted to be false,
while preserving the existing conditions. This must prevent deleted-branch push
events from running the email notification job when github.event.head_commit is
unavailable.

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.

Verify the SMTP endpoint contract before merging.

If ${{ secrets.SMTP_PORT }} is STARTTLS-only or the server does not support AUTH PLAIN, this action can fail because secure: true requires implicit TLS. Confirm the server supports both requirements.

In @.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml at line 42, Verify the SMTP server
used by the notification action supports implicit TLS on the configured port and
AUTH PLAIN, matching the action’s secure: true configuration; if either
requirement is not supported, update the SMTP configuration or action inputs to
use the server’s supported contract.
