GitHub Actions push event branch deletion github.event.deleted head_commit nullable branches filter

💡 Result:

In GitHub Actions, the push event is triggered when a branch is deleted [1]. When this occurs, the workflow runs on the default branch of the repository, and the GITHUB_REF variable reflects the default branch [2][3]. Key details regarding the push event during branch deletion include: 1. head_commit is Nullable: In the webhook payload for a push event, the head_commit object can be null (e.g., when a branch is deleted) [4][5]. Workflows attempting to access fields within head_commit should account for this potential null value to avoid errors [6][7]. 2. Handling Deletion: To distinguish or filter workflows triggered by branch deletion versus standard pushes, you can inspect the payload property github.event.deleted, which is a boolean [4][5]. A typical approach to prevent a workflow from running on branch deletion is to use a conditional check: if: ${{!github.event.deleted }} [1] 3. Alternative Events: If you specifically need to respond to the deletion of a branch, the delete event is the dedicated trigger [2][3]. This event provides the name of the deleted ref directly in the event context via github.event.ref [8][9]. 4. Branch Filters: While you can use the branches filter in the push event configuration to restrict when a workflow runs, this filter evaluates against the branch ref being pushed [10]. Because branch deletion triggers a push event context that effectively points to the default branch, branch filtering may not behave as expected for "deleted branch" logic, reinforcing the need to use the github.event.deleted flag or the delete event instead [1].

Citations:

Exclude branch-deletion push events.

When GitHub emits a push event for a deleted branch, github.event.deleted is true and github.event.head_commit is null. The branches: ['**'] filter does not exclude this event. With the feature flag enabled, this job can send an email without head commit data.

Proposed fix 
-    if: ${{ vars.PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED == 'true' }}
+    if: ${{ vars.PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED == 'true' && !github.event.deleted }}

In @.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml at line 16, Update the push-event
job trigger around the branches filter to exclude branch-deletion events by
requiring github.event.deleted to be false, preventing execution when
github.event.head_commit is null 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.
