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

💡 Result:

In GitHub Actions, the push event is triggered not only when commits are pushed, but also when a branch or tag is deleted [1][2][3]. When a branch is deleted, the webhook payload includes the property deleted: true [1][4], and the head_commit property is set to null [4]. Additionally, the after SHA is set to a string of zeros (0000000000000000000000000000000000000000) [5][4]. Because the push event triggers on branch deletions, workflows may unintentionally run during these events if not explicitly filtered. To prevent a workflow job from running when a branch is deleted, you can use a conditional if statement to check the github.event.deleted context [5][6]: jobs: my_job: if: ${{!github.event.deleted }} runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - name: Your step run: echo "This only runs if the branch was not deleted." This pattern is a standard practice for ensuring that tasks like builds, deployments, or status checks do not attempt to execute on a branch that no longer exists or on a state where the commit SHA is invalid [5][6]. If you specifically wish to handle branch deletions, you can use the separate delete event, which is specifically designed for these actions [7][1].

Citations:

Exclude deleted branches from the notification job.

A branch deletion triggers push with github.event.deleted == true and github.event.head_commit == null. Since branches: ['**'] also matches the deleted branch ref, the job can send a notification without a commit message. Add github.event.deleted != true to the job condition.

preventing deleted-branch push events from running 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.

GitHub Actions github.token available to actions without explicitly passing GITHUB_TOKEN permissions contents read workflow docs

💡 Result:

The GITHUB_TOKEN is automatically available to all GitHub Actions workflows without requiring any explicit configuration or passing of the token to actions [1][2][3]. GitHub automatically generates this unique token at the start of every workflow job [4][3]. Actions can access the GITHUB_TOKEN via the github.token context [1][2][3]. While it is available by default, the permissions granted to this token depend on the configuration settings of the repository or organization [5][6]. Key points regarding permissions: 1. Default Settings: New repositories and organizations typically default to a restricted, read-only setting for the GITHUB_TOKEN, which limits access to specific scopes like contents and packages [5][7]. 2. Customization: You can explicitly manage these permissions within your workflow file using the permissions key [8][9][2]. This allows you to follow the principle of least privilege by granting only the specific access required for a job [1][2][10]. 3. Modifying Permissions: If you define any permissions in the permissions key, all permissions not explicitly listed are set to none [8][9][6]. For security, it is considered a best practice to explicitly define the minimum required permissions in your workflow files rather than relying on default settings [1][2][10].

Citations:

Remove the unused repository permission.

The composite action only downloads a public release asset and runs the SMTP binary. It does not use the GitHub API or repository contents. contents: read gives the action unnecessary access to private repository contents. Set the workflow permissions to empty:

permissions: {}
