site:docs.github.com GitHub Actions push event deleted branch github.event.deleted head_commit null branches filter

💡 Result:

In GitHub Actions, the push event is triggered when a branch is deleted [1][2]. When this happens, the head_commit property in the webhook payload is null [1][2]. Because the push event fires for both standard pushes and deletions, workflows configured to process commits (e.g., those accessing github.event.head_commit) may fail if they do not explicitly check for this condition. To handle deleted branches and avoid errors caused by null values: 1. Check the deleted flag: The push event payload contains a boolean field named deleted [1][2]. You can check if the event is a deletion using ${{ github.event.deleted }} in an if condition within your workflow steps. 2. Verify head_commit exists: Ensure your code or script checks if github.event.head_commit is not empty before accessing its properties. Example usage in a workflow: jobs: build: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - name: Check if branch was deleted if: github.event.deleted == true run: echo "This push event was a branch deletion." - name: Process commit if: github.event.deleted == false run: | echo "Processing commit: ${{ github.event.head_commit.id }}" Regarding branches filters: The branches and branches-ignore filters in workflow syntax define which branch names trigger the workflow [3][4]. While you can filter by branch name, these filters are evaluated against the Git ref name and do not inherently filter out deletion events. If a branch deletion occurs on a branch that matches your filter pattern, the workflow will trigger [3][4]. Therefore, you must use conditional logic within the workflow steps (as shown above) to safely handle the deletion event [1][2]. If you only want to trigger workflows on branch deletions, you can use the delete event instead of push [5][6]. However, note that the delete event will only trigger a workflow if the deletion occurs on the default branch [5][6].

Citations:

Exclude deleted branches from the notification job.

branches: ['**'] also matches branch-deletion push events. These events set github.event.deleted to true and github.event.head_commit to null, so the notification can contain an empty commit message. Add !github.event.deleted to the job condition.

In @.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml at line 15, Update the notification
job condition in push-email-notify.yml to require github.event.deleted to be
false, preventing deleted-branch push events from running the job while
preserving notifications for normal 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.

Microsoft 365 SMTP AUTH client submission smtp.office365.com port 587 STARTTLS AUTH PLAIN documentation

💡 Result:

To use SMTP AUTH client submission with Microsoft 365, configure your application or device with the following settings [1][2]: Server/Smart host: smtp.office365.com [1][2] TCP Port: 587 (recommended) or 25 [1][2] Encryption: STARTTLS (TLS 1.2 or 1.3 is required) [1][2] Authentication: SMTP AUTH (Username and Password) [1][3] Username: Full email address of the licensed Microsoft 365 mailbox [1][2][3] Password: Password of the mailbox [1][2][3] Important Configuration and Security Notes: - Prerequisites: The mailbox must be licensed and active [2][4]. SMTP AUTH must be explicitly enabled for the specific mailbox in the Microsoft 365 admin center or via Exchange Online PowerShell using Set-CASMailbox -Identity -SmtpClientAuthenticationDisabled $false [5][6][3]. - Security Defaults: If Security Defaults are enabled in your organization, SMTP AUTH is disabled by default [5][6]. - Authentication Method: While the settings above use traditional credentials, Microsoft is actively transitioning away from Basic authentication [7][8]. As of September 2026, SMTP AUTH Basic Authentication behavior remains unchanged until the end of December 2026, at which point it will be disabled by default for existing tenants [8]. It is highly recommended to use OAuth (Modern Authentication) whenever possible to ensure long-term compatibility and security [1][5][7]. Do not use an IP address for the SMTP server [1][2].

Citations:

Use an implicit-TLS SMTP endpoint for this workflow.

secure: true makes the pinned action use implicit TLS and AUTH PLAIN. STARTTLS is not implemented. Configure SMTP_HOST and SMTP_PORT for an implicit-TLS endpoint, normally port 465. Do not use smtp.office365.com:587, which requires STARTTLS.
