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

💡 Result:

In GitHub Actions, the push event can be triggered when a branch is deleted [1][2]. When this happens, the head_commit property in the webhook payload is null because there is no new commit associated with the deletion [3]. Additionally, the GITHUB_SHA and GITHUB_REF context variables often revert to the repository's default branch [4][5][2]. To prevent workflows from running unintentionally when a branch is deleted, or to explicitly handle such events, you can use conditional logic in your workflow YAML. Filtering out deleted branches To stop a workflow from running on a push event that involves a branch deletion, you can check the github.event.deleted boolean property within an if condition [1]: jobs: my-job: if: ${{!github.event.deleted }} runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - run: echo "This only runs if the branch was not deleted." Accessing deletion information If you specifically need to handle branch deletions, it is recommended to use the delete event rather than relying on the push event [6]. The delete event provides specific details about the deleted reference [6]: on: delete: push: jobs: handle-delete: if: github.event_name == 'delete' && github.event.ref_type == 'branch' runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - name: Report deleted branch run: echo "The branch ${{ github.event.ref }} was deleted." Summary of payload behavior during deletion: - github.event.deleted: true [1][3] - github.event.head_commit: null [3] - GITHUB_SHA: Reverts to the last commit on the default branch [4][2] - GITHUB_REF: Reverts to the default branch [4][2]

Add an explicit deletion-event guard.

branches: ['**'] also matches deleted branch refs. GitHub can trigger this push workflow with github.event.deleted == true and github.event.head_commit == null. Add && !github.event.deleted to the notify job condition.

In @.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml at line 15, Update the notify job
condition in the push workflow to require github.event.deleted to be false,
while preserving the existing branch matching and other 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.
