GitHub Actions push branch filters branch deletion deleted true workflow trigger official documentation
💡 Result:
When you delete a branch, GitHub Actions may trigger a push event because the branch deletion involves a push to the repository, during which the SHA reverts to the default branch [1][2]. There is no built-in deleted: true or ignore-deleted: true filter within the standard on.push.branches syntax to prevent workflows from running on branch deletions [3][4][5]. To handle this, you can use the following methods: 1. Using the delete event: If you specifically want to run a workflow when a branch is deleted, you should use the delete event trigger instead of the push event [6]. You can filter for branch deletions specifically by checking the event context: yaml on: delete: jobs: cleanup: if: github.event.ref_type == 'branch' runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - name: Handle branch deletion run: echo "Branch ${{ github.event.ref }} was deleted." 2. Filtering in push workflows: If your push-triggered workflow is running unintentionally during deletions, you can add a conditional step or job to detect the state. However, since the push event on deletion does not natively provide a "deleted" flag in the standard push payload, many users use third-party actions designed to filter these events, or check the context if they need to explicitly avoid logic on deletions [7]. It is important to note that when a branch is deleted, GITHUB_REF within a push workflow will typically point to the repository's default branch rather than the deleted branch, which can cause confusion if you are relying on that variable for logic [1][8][6]. If you need to act specifically on deletions, the delete event is the officially recommended approach [6].

site:docs.github.com/actions events that trigger workflows deleted branch push github.event deleted head_commit null
💡 Result:
When a Git branch is deleted in a GitHub repository, it triggers the delete event, not the push event [1]. If you are seeing a workflow triggered by a push event where the head_commit is null, it is typically because the push event was for a branch deletion. According to official GitHub documentation, when a branch is deleted, GitHub triggers a push event payload where the head_commit is null to signify that there is no longer a tip commit for that reference [1]. Key points regarding this behavior: 1. Event Type: A branch deletion triggers the delete event [1]. However, the push webhook is also sent for branch deletions, resulting in a push event payload where the head_commit is set to null [1]. 2. Contextual Information: For push events involving branch deletions, the SHA associated with the workflow run reverts to the default branch of the repository because the specific branch ref no longer exists [1]. 3. Workflow Triggering: If you have a workflow configured with on: push, it will receive these events. To prevent your workflow from running during branch deletions, you can add a conditional check to your workflow steps or at the job level to verify that head_commit is not null or that the event is not a deletion [1]. Example of how to skip a job on branch deletion: jobs: my-job: if: ${{ github.event.head_commit!= null }} runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - run: echo "This only runs if a commit was pushed."

Skip branch-deletion push payloads.
GitHub sends a push payload for branch deletion with github.event.head_commit == null. The current job condition only checks PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED, so notify can send a misleading email. Add github.event.head_commit != null to the job condition.

Confirm the SMTP endpoint contract before merging.
If SMTP_HOST and SMTP_PORT target a STARTTLS-only endpoint or do not support AUTH PLAIN, this job fails. The pinned action uses implicit TLS for secure: true; its STARTTLS mode is not implemented. Confirm an implicit-TLS endpoint, normally port 465, with AUTH PLAIN.
