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

💡 Result:

When a branch is deleted in a GitHub repository, it triggers a push event [1][2]. In this specific payload, the deleted field is set to true and the head_commit property is null [1][2]. Because the push event is still technically triggered, workflows configured for on: push will execute unless specifically filtered [2]. Since head_commit is null, referencing it directly in a workflow (e.g., ${{ github.event.head_commit.message }}) will cause the workflow to fail [3]. To prevent workflows from running on branch deletions, you can use an if conditional at the job or workflow level to check the payload data: jobs: job_name: if: ${{!github.event.deleted }} runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - name: Your step run: echo "This only runs if the branch was not deleted." Alternatively, if you only want the workflow to run on specific events that contain valid commit information, you can ensure that head_commit is not null: jobs: job_name: if: ${{ github.event.head_commit!= null }} runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - name: Your step run: echo "This only runs if there is a head_commit." Note that while delete events also exist, they are separate from the push event; if you specifically want to handle branch deletions, you should use the delete event trigger, which provides different payload fields (such as ref_type and ref) [4][5].

Exclude branch-deletion events from the notification job.

If a branch deletion produces a push event, branches: ['**'] does not exclude it. Add github.event.deleted != true to the job condition.

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.

Set the workflow token permissions to empty.

The pinned action only downloads a public binary and sends SMTP input. It does not access repository contents or the GitHub API. Replace contents: read with permissions: {}.

Use an SMTP service that matches the action’s transport mode.

The workflow passes secrets.SMTP_PORT to server_port and sets secure: true. The pinned action uses implicit TLS and does not implement STARTTLS. If the port is 587 and the service expects STARTTLS, the notification step can fail. Use SMTPS, normally on port 465, or use an action that supports STARTTLS.

In @.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml at line 42, Update the SMTP
notification configuration using the pinned action and its server_port/secure
settings so it targets an implicit-TLS SMTPS service, normally port 465, rather
than a STARTTLS-only port such as 587; alternatively replace the action with one
that explicitly supports STARTTLS while preserving the notification behavior.
