GitHub Actions push event branch filters deleted branch event github.event.deleted head_commit null

💡 Result:

In GitHub Actions, a branch deletion triggers a push event [1][2]. Because there is no new commit associated with a deletion, the webhook payload sets head_commit to null [3], and the after SHA is typically 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 [3]. Standard branch filters (such as branches or branches-ignore) in the workflow on: push configuration do not natively distinguish between a regular push and a branch deletion [1][4]. Consequently, if your workflow is configured to trigger on pushes to branches that are subsequently deleted, the workflow will be triggered by that deletion event [1][3]. To prevent workflows from running during branch deletions, or to handle them specifically, you should use a conditional if check in your jobs [5][6][7]. Recommended practice: Add if: ${{ !github.event.deleted }} to your jobs to explicitly skip execution when a branch is deleted [5][8][6][7]. Example: jobs: my_job: if: ${{!github.event.deleted }} runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - name: Run code run: echo "Not a deletion event" If you need to trigger specific logic only on branch deletion, you can use the delete event instead of push [1][2][9]. The delete event payload provides information about the deleted reference via github.event.ref and github.event.ref_type [1][9]. Note that branch filters do not apply to the delete event in the same way they do for push [1]. You must implement filtering logic within your jobs using if conditions, such as: if: ${{ github.event_name == 'delete' && github.event.ref_type == 'branch' && startsWith(github.event.ref, 'your-branch-prefix/') }} [1]

Exclude deleted branch events explicitly.

on.push.branches: ['**'] matches branch deletion pushes. Since notify.if checks only PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED, the notification action can run with github.event.deleted == true and github.event.head_commit == null. Add !github.event.deleted to the job condition and update the adjacent comment.

In @.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml around lines 14 - 15, Update the
notification job’s notify.if condition to require github.event.deleted to be
false in addition to PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED, preventing notifications for deleted
branch pushes; revise the adjacent comment to document this exclusion.

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.
