GitHub Actions push event branches filter branch deletion deleted true head_commit null workflow

💡 Result:

When a branch is deleted on GitHub, the push webhook event is triggered [1][2]. In this specific payload, the deleted field is set to true, and the head_commit object is null [3]. Because a push event is fired during a branch deletion, workflows configured with on: push will trigger by default [3]. If your workflow logic attempts to access properties within head_commit (such as github.event.head_commit.message), the workflow may fail or error because head_commit is null [3][4]. To manage or ignore these events, you can use the following strategies: 1. Ignore branch deletion in a push workflow: You can add a condition to your job to skip execution when the push represents a deletion [3]: jobs: my_job: if: ${{!github.event.deleted }} runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - run: echo "This only runs if the branch was not deleted." 2. Use the delete event instead: If your goal is to handle branch deletions specifically, the delete event is the appropriate trigger [5][6]. Note that when using the delete event, GITHUB_REF points to the default branch, not the branch that was deleted [6][7]. To identify the deleted branch, you should access the payload via the context [7]: on: delete jobs: delete_handler: if: github.event.ref_type == 'branch' runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - run: echo "The deleted branch was: ${{ github.event.ref }}" Summary of payload behavior during deletion: - deleted: true [1][3] - head_commit: null [3] - after: 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 [3]

site:docs.github.com actions workflow syntax on.push.branches branch deletion filter

💡 Result:

In GitHub Actions, the push event includes branch deletions [1]. When a branch is deleted, the push event is triggered, and your workflow filters (branches or branches-ignore) will be evaluated against that event [2][3][4]. There is no specific on.push.branches syntax to exclusively filter for or against branch deletions. However, you can manage this behavior using the following approaches: 1. How it works: When a branch is deleted, the push event payload indicates the deletion [1]. The workflow filters evaluate the branch name associated with the push event [2]. If your branches filter matches the name of the branch that was deleted, the workflow will trigger [3]. 2. Detecting deletions within the workflow: Since there is no native syntax to filter "only deletions" or "exclude deletions" within the on.push configuration, you must handle this logic inside your workflow steps [1]. You can check the deleted property of the push event or evaluate the GITHUB_REF environment variable [3][1]. Specifically, you can use an if condition on a job or step: - To run a job only on deletion: jobs: example: if: github.event.deleted == true runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - run: echo "Branch was deleted" - To run a job only on push (excluding deletion): jobs: example: if: github.event.deleted == false runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - run: echo "Branch was pushed" If you require a workflow to trigger specifically and only when a branch is deleted (and not on normal code pushes), consider using the delete event instead of the push event [1]. The delete event is explicitly designed to trigger when a Git branch or tag is deleted [1]. on: delete: # Optional: Filter by specific branches if needed branches: - 'main' Using the delete event separates your deletion-handling logic from standard push logic, preventing your build or deployment workflows from inadvertently running when a branch is removed [1].

Exclude branch-deletion events from email notifications.

When PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED is 'true', the notify job runs for matching branch-deletion push events. These events can set github.event.head_commit to null, so the email can contain missing commit details. Add github.event.deleted != true to the job-level condition.

In @.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml at line 16, Update the notify job
condition in the workflow to require github.event.deleted != true in addition to
the existing PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED check, preventing email notifications for
branch-deletion push events 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.

Use a compatible SMTP endpoint before enabling this workflow.

The workflow sets secure: true, which requires implicit TLS. The v0.2.0 action does not implement STARTTLS and supports only AUTH PLAIN. Microsoft 365 cannot work with this action. Confirm that SMTP_HOST and SMTP_PORT provide implicit TLS and AUTH PLAIN before setting PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED=true.
