GitHub Actions push event branch deletion branches filter github.event.deleted head_commit null expression null property dereference official documentation

💡 Result:

In GitHub Actions, you cannot filter push events by branch deletion status directly within the on: push: branches filter, as the push event itself does not distinguish between standard pushes and branch deletions [1][2]. When a branch is deleted, GitHub may still trigger a push event, often reporting the GITHUB_REF as the default branch [1][2]. To handle branch deletions or prevent workflows from running during them, you must use conditional logic within your job configuration using the if property. Handling Branch Deletions: 1. Use the delete event: The delete event is the official way to react to branch deletions [1][2]. You can access the name of the deleted branch via ${{ github.event.ref }} [3][4]. yaml on: delete jobs: cleanup: if: github.event.ref_type == 'branch' runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - name: Handle deletion run: echo "Branch deleted: ${{ github.event.ref }}" 2. Filtering push events: If you need to stop a workflow from running on a push event when that push is actually a branch deletion, you can check the deleted property in the event payload [5][6]. The head_commit property can be null during deletions (or other non-commit events), so when accessing nested properties, always use safe conditional checks to avoid null pointer dereference errors [6]. yaml on: push jobs: build: # Ensure head_commit is not null before accessing properties, # and check that it is not a deletion event. if: ${{ !github.event.deleted && github.event.head_commit != null }} runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - run: echo "This is a standard push." Official documentation confirms that for the push event, the head_commit property can be null in specific scenarios (such as branch deletions), making null-safe checks essential when referencing event data in your if conditions [6].

Citations:

Exclude branch deletions from the notification job.

When github.event.deleted is true, the notify job still runs if PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED is true. The deletion payload can have head_commit: null, so the workflow can send an incomplete notification. Add !github.event.deleted to the existing job condition.

In @.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml at line 15, Update the notify job’s
existing condition in the push email workflow to also require
github.event.deleted to be false, while preserving the current
PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED 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.
