GitHub Actions push event branch filter deleted branch github.event.deleted branches filter documentation

💡 Result:

GitHub Actions does not provide a native branch filter for the delete event [1]. When a branch is deleted, the push event is also triggered, but the standard branches or branches-ignore filters in the on.push configuration do not support filtering based on whether a branch was deleted [2][3]. To handle deleted branches in your workflow, you should use the delete event instead of relying on the push event [4]. How to handle deleted branches: 1. Use the delete event: Configure your workflow to trigger on the delete event [4]. on: delete: 2. Filter by ref_type: Within your job, use an if condition to ensure the event was a branch deletion (rather than a tag deletion) [4]. jobs: cleanup: if: github.event.ref_type == 'branch' runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - name: Handle branch deletion run: echo "The deleted branch was ${{ github.event.ref }}" Note on the push event: While the push event does trigger when a branch is deleted, the GITHUB_REF variable for that run will point to the repository's default branch, not the branch that was actually deleted [2][4]. Consequently, standard branch filters are not effective for identifying or excluding specific branch deletions [2]. If you must detect deletions via the push event, you would need to inspect the webhook payload (e.g., checking if github.event.deleted is true), though using the delete event as shown above is the standard, recommended approach [5][6][4].

Citations:

Exclude branch-deletion pushes explicitly.

GitHub also emits a push event when a branch is deleted. branches: ['**'] does not exclude this event. Since the job condition only checks PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED, it can send a notification without a commit payload. Add github.event.deleted != true to the condition and test branch deletion.

In @.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml at line 15, Update the job condition
in the workflow to require github.event.deleted != true in addition to
PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED, preventing notifications for branch-deletion push events.
Add coverage or validation for the branch-deletion case while preserving
notifications for normal pushes.

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 service supports implicit TLS.

The pinned action sets secure: true, which selects implicit TLS. If secrets.SMTP_PORT targets a STARTTLS-only service, the step can fail before sending. Confirm that the SMTP service supports implicit TLS, normally on port 465.

In @.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml at line 42, Verify that the SMTP
service configured by SMTP_PORT supports implicit TLS for the pinned
smtp-notify-action, using the service’s implicit-TLS port (normally 465); if it
is STARTTLS-only, update the action configuration to use the service’s supported
TLS mode and port while preserving secure email delivery.
