GitHub Actions workflow syntax push event branches branch deletion github.event.deleted head_commit null

💡 Result:

When a Git branch is deleted, GitHub sends a push webhook event to your repository [1][2]. Because this push event indicates a modification to the repository's references, GitHub Actions workflows configured to trigger on push will execute [3][2]. In this specific scenario, the head_commit property in the github.event context is often null [1][4]. This occurs because the push event payload for a branch deletion does not point to a new commit being added, but rather to the state of the repository after the reference removal [3][1]. Consequently, if your workflow relies on github.event.head_commit (e.g., to access commit messages or changed files), it may fail or trigger errors when a branch is deleted [5][4]. To handle this behavior, you should implement conditional logic in your workflow to safely check for the presence of head_commit or detect the deletion event: 1. Use conditional expressions to bypass steps or jobs if github.event.head_commit is null or if the push is a deletion [2]. 2. Detect deletions explicitly within a push workflow using ${{ github.event.deleted }} which is a boolean in the push payload [1]. Example of handling deletions within a push-triggered job: jobs: build: runs-on: ubuntu-latest if: ${{!github.event.deleted }} steps: - name: Run only on non-deletion pushes run: echo "Processing commit ${{ github.event.head_commit.id }}" Alternatively, if your goal is to explicitly handle branch deletions, you should use the delete event type [3][6]. Note that for the delete event to trigger, the workflow file must exist on your repository's default branch [3][7]. The payload for the delete event provides the branch name via github.event.ref and the reference type via github.event.ref_type [8][2]. on: push: delete: jobs: on-delete: runs-on: ubuntu-latest if: ${{ github.event_name == 'delete' && github.event.ref_type == 'branch' }} steps: - name: Handle branch deletion run: echo "Branch deleted: ${{ github.event.ref }}"

Skip branch-deletion push events.

When github.event.deleted is true, head_commit can be null. If PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED is true, this job can send a notification without commit data. Add github.event.deleted != true to the job condition.

In @.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml at line 15, Update the job condition
in the workflow to require github.event.deleted != true, preventing
branch-deletion push events from running the notification job while preserving
the existing PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED and branch conditions.

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 transport before merge.

If secrets.SMTP_PORT targets a STARTTLS-only service, this action can fail because secure: true selects implicit TLS and STARTTLS is not implemented. Use an implicit-TLS endpoint, normally port 465, or select an action that supports STARTTLS.

In @.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml at line 42, Update the SMTP
notification configuration using hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action so
secrets.SMTP_PORT points to an implicit-TLS endpoint, normally port 465, or
replace the action with one that supports STARTTLS; ensure the selected
transport matches the configured secure TLS mode before merge.
