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

💡 Result:

In GitHub Actions, the push event is triggered when a branch is deleted [1][2][3]. However, relying on the push event to handle branch deletions is often problematic because the context variables behave differently during deletions compared to standard code pushes [1][4]. Key behaviors when a branch is deleted: 1. Context Variables: When a branch is deleted, the push event triggers a workflow run where GITHUB_REF typically points to the default branch of the repository, not the deleted branch [1][5][4]. 2. Head Commit: The head_commit property in the event payload for a push event involving a branch deletion will be null [2]. 3. Recommended Approach: Instead of using the push event for branch deletion logic, it is highly recommended to use the official delete event [1][3]. The delete event is designed specifically for this purpose and provides reliable access to the name of the deleted branch via the GitHub context [5][4]. To implement a workflow that reacts only when a branch is deleted, you should use the following configuration: on: delete: jobs: on-delete: runs-on: ubuntu-latest if: github.event.ref_type == 'branch' steps: - name: Handle branch deletion run: | echo "The following branch was deleted: ${{ github.event.ref }}" In this configuration: - github.event.ref contains the name of the deleted branch [5][4]. - The if condition (github.event.ref_type == 'branch') ensures the workflow only triggers for branch deletions, excluding tag deletions [5].

Citations:

Exclude branch-deletion pushes explicitly.

A branch deletion can trigger this push workflow. The branches: ['**'] filter does not exclude deletion events, and github.event.head_commit is null for them. Add github.event.deleted != true to the job-level if condition to prevent misleading notifications without commit data.

In @.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml at line 15, Update the job-level if
condition in the push workflow to require github.event.deleted != true, while
preserving the existing conditions, so branch-deletion pushes do not run
notification jobs without commit data.

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.
