GitHub Actions push event branches filter deleted branch deleted true head_commit null
💡 Result:
In GitHub Actions, the push event is triggered not only by new commits but also when a branch or tag is deleted [1][2]. When a branch is deleted, the event payload includes a deleted field set to true, and the head_commit object is typically null [3][4]. Because the push event fires on deletions, you may encounter workflows running unexpectedly when branches are removed. You can manage this behavior using the following strategies: 1. Filter at the Workflow Level: You can use a conditional check in the if field of your job to skip execution when a branch deletion occurs: if: ${{!github.event.deleted }} 2. Distinguish Between Push and Delete Events: If you specifically need to handle branch deletions, it is recommended to use the delete event instead of the push event [5][2]. The delete event allows you to specifically filter for branch deletions and access details about the deleted ref [5]. Example of handling deletion specifically: on: delete: push: branches: - 'main' jobs: handle-delete: if: github.event_name == 'delete' && github.event.ref_type == 'branch' runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - name: Handle branch deletion run: echo "The branch ${{ github.event.ref }} was deleted." Note that when a branch is deleted, the GITHUB_REF in a push workflow context may revert to the repository's default branch, and the GITHUB_SHA will correspond to the last commit on that default branch [6][7]. Always rely on the event payload (e.g., github.event.ref) when handling these events to ensure you are referencing the correct target [5].

site:docs.github.com webhook push event deleted branch head_commit null
💡 Result:
When a branch is deleted in a GitHub repository, the push webhook event is triggered [1][2]. In the resulting payload, the head_commit field is set to null because there is no longer a valid commit head associated with the deleted reference [1][3][4]. The push event payload includes several fields that indicate the state of the reference: - deleted: This boolean field is set to true when a branch or tag is deleted [1][2]. - head_commit: This field, which typically contains information about the latest commit on the ref, is set to null in the context of a deletion [1][4]. - ref: This field contains the full Git reference that was deleted (e.g., refs/heads/branch-name) [1][5]. Because the push event encompasses various activities—including branch deletions, tag deletions, and code pushes—the payload structure is designed to handle these different scenarios by allowing head_commit to be null when no specific commit is being "pushed" to an active branch [1][6]. If you only need to react to branch or tag deletions, you can alternatively subscribe to the delete webhook event [1][2].

site:docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/workflows-and-actions/events-that-trigger-workflows push branches filters deleted ref
💡 Result:
In the context of GitHub Actions, the push event is specifically triggered by updates to references, such as creating a new branch or pushing commits [1]. When a branch is deleted, this does not trigger the push event [1]. Instead, deleting a Git reference (such as a branch or tag) triggers the delete event [1]. Therefore, you cannot use branch filters (like branches or branches-ignore) on a push event to selectively run workflows during a deletion process, as the push event itself does not handle deletions [1]. If you need to perform actions when a branch is deleted, you should use the delete event [1]. You can configure a workflow to run specifically when a branch or tag is deleted using the following syntax in your workflow file: on: delete: Within the delete event, the workflow does not support branch-specific filters in the same way as the push event; however, you can add conditional logic within your job steps to check the deleted reference using the GITHUB_REF environment variable or the github context [1].

Exclude deleted branch pushes from this job.
When a deleted branch matches branches: ['**'], github.event.deleted is true and github.event.head_commit may be null. If PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED is true, the notify job can send a misleading email for the deletion. Add !github.event.deleted to the job condition.

hyperpolymath smtp-notify-action v0.2.0 secure STARTTLS AUTH PLAIN inputs
💡 Result:
There is no specific software or GitHub Action named "smtp-notify-action" published by the organization or user "hyperpolymath" [1][2][3]. The "hyperpolymath" organization uses a standard email notification workflow in its repositories (often titled push-email-notify.yml) that relies on the third-party GitHub Action dawidd6/action-send-mail [1][2][3]. Regarding the technical inputs for SMTP security (STARTTLS, AUTH PLAIN) in this context: 1. Usage in Workflows: The hyperpolymath repositories configure the dawidd6/action-send-mail action with the parameter secure: true [1][2][3]. This parameter typically instructs the underlying library (Nodemailer) to secure the connection using TLS or STARTTLS, depending on the server port [4][5]. 2. STARTTLS and AUTH PLAIN: In SMTP communications, STARTTLS is used to upgrade a plaintext connection to an encrypted one, which is required before issuing sensitive commands like AUTH PLAIN to prevent credentials from being sent in the clear [6][7]. When using action-send-mail (or similar SMTP clients), ensuring the connection is secure (via secure: true or appropriate port selection like 587 for STARTTLS) is necessary to safely support AUTH PLAIN [4][5][6]. 3. Configuration: Users typically provide their SMTP credentials through GitHub Secrets (e.g., SMTP_HOST, SMTP_PORT, SMTP_USER, SMTP_PASS) [1][2][3]. If you are encountering specific issues with a tool named "smtp-notify-action," it is likely a misidentification of the dawidd6/action-send-mail action or a private/internal script.

secure: true uses implicit TLS, and the action authenticates with AUTH PLAIN. STARTTLS is not implemented. If SMTP_HOST requires STARTTLS or another authentication mechanism, the step can fail. Check the configured SMTP_PORT and server policy before setting PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED=true.
