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

💡 Result:

When a branch is deleted in a GitHub repository, it triggers a push event in GitHub Actions [1][2]. In this specific context, the head_commit in the webhook payload is null [1], and the deleted property in the event payload is set to true [1]. Because this event is technically a push to the default branch (with an empty commit or no commit context), it can trigger workflows configured with on: push [3][4]. The environment variables GITHUB_SHA and GITHUB_REF during such an event will typically point to the default branch [3][4], rather than the branch that was just deleted. To manage this behavior, you can use the following strategies: 1. Filtering out branch deletions: To prevent workflows from running when a branch is deleted, add an if conditional to your job or workflow level [5][6][7]: if: ${{!github.event.deleted }} 2. Detecting branch deletions: If you need to perform cleanup tasks specifically when a branch is deleted, you should use the dedicated delete event instead of the push event [8][9]. When using the delete event, you can access the name of the deleted branch via github.event.ref [8][9]. Note that you must filter for branch deletions specifically to avoid triggering on tag deletions [8]: on: delete: jobs: cleanup: if: github.event.ref_type == 'branch' runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - run: echo "The branch ${{ github.event.ref }} was deleted." If you rely on the push event but need to distinguish deletions, you can check the github.event.deleted flag in your conditional logic to skip steps or jobs [2][5][10].

Citations:

Exclude deleted branches from this trigger.

A deleted branch can trigger this push workflow because the event uses the default branch ref, which matches branches: ['**']. The payload sets github.event.deleted to true and github.event.head_commit to null, so the workflow can send a false notification. 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 so deleted-branch events are skipped
and normal pushes still notify.

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.
