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

💡 Result:

When a branch is deleted in a GitHub repository, it generates a push event where the payload property "deleted" is set to "true" [1][2]. In this specific scenario, the "head_commit" object in the push event payload will be null because there is no head commit associated with a deleted reference [1][2]. Workflow behavior and considerations: 1. Workflow Triggers: While the push event includes information about branch deletions, using the "delete" event is the dedicated way to trigger workflows specifically for branch or tag deletions [3][1]. Note that for the "delete" event to trigger, the workflow file must exist on the repository's default branch [3][4]. 2. Payload Data: If you use the push event to handle deletions, you must handle the case where "head_commit" is null. Because the push event payload for a deletion does not contain the usual commit details, you cannot rely on "head_commit" to access information about the branch that was just deleted [3][1]. 3. Branches Filter: When using the "push" event, the "branches" or "branches-ignore" filters are evaluated against the Git reference name (e.g., "refs/heads/feature-branch") [5][6]. If you configure a workflow to trigger on the "push" event and use branch filters, the workflow will still be evaluated when a branch is deleted if that deletion constitutes a "push" event to your repository [1][5]. If your goal is to perform cleanup tasks after a branch deletion, it is often more robust to use the "delete" event, which provides the deleted reference name directly via "${{ github.event.ref }}" [3][7]. If you must use the "push" event, ensure your logic explicitly checks if "deleted" is true to avoid errors caused by the null "head_commit" [1][2].

Citations:

Exclude branch-deletion push events.

branches: ['**'] does not exclude branch-deletion push events. These events can set github.event.head_commit to null, so the notification can omit the head message. Add github.event.deleted != true to the job condition, or handle deletion events explicitly.

push notification job condition to exclude deleted-branch push events by
requiring github.event.deleted to be false, while preserving notifications for
non-deletion branch 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 transport before merging.

If secrets.SMTP_PORT is 587 and the server requires STARTTLS, this step can fail. With secure: true, the pinned action uses implicit TLS, and its STARTTLS mode is not implemented. Use an implicit-TLS port, normally 465, or retain an action that supports STARTTLS.

In @.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml at line 42, Update the SMTP
notification step using hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action so its transport
matches the configured security mode: use implicit TLS with SMTP_PORT set to
465, or replace it with an action that supports STARTTLS when retaining port
587. Preserve the existing email notification behavior.
