GitHub Actions push event branch deletion github.event.deleted branches filter documentation
💡 Result:
GitHub Actions does not provide a built-in filter to exclude or include branch deletions within the push event configuration [1][2][3]. When a branch is deleted, GitHub triggers a push event to the repository's default branch, which can inadvertently trigger workflows configured to run on pushes to that default branch [1][4][5]. To handle this, you can use conditional job execution (the if keyword) to detect and filter out deletions within your workflow [4][6]. Detecting Deletions The push event payload includes a boolean field named deleted [5][7]. You can access this in your workflow using the github context: if: ${{!github.event.deleted }} This condition ensures the job only runs for standard pushes and not when a branch is deleted [4]. Handling Deletions Specifically If you instead wish to trigger a workflow only when a branch is deleted, you should use the delete event rather than the push event [6][5]. Note that for delete events, the GITHUB_REF variable points to the default branch, so you must use the event payload to identify which branch was deleted [1][6][8]. Example of filtering out deletions: jobs: build: if: ${{!github.event.deleted }} runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - run: echo "This job runs only on standard pushes." Example of acting on a specific branch deletion: on: delete: jobs: cleanup: if: ${{ github.event.ref_type == 'branch' && github.event.ref == 'my-target-branch' }} runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - run: echo "Cleaning up resources for deleted branch: ${{ github.event.ref }}" Summary of Key Differences: - Push event: Triggers for commits, creation, and deletion [4][5]. Filter by checking!github.event.deleted [4]. - Delete event: Specifically for deletions of branches or tags [5]. Access the branch name via github.event.ref [6][8].

Exclude branch-deletion push events explicitly.
When PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED is true, the notify job can run for a branch-deletion push payload and send an email without a commit message. Add !github.event.deleted to the job condition.

hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action v0.2.0 action.yml secure SMTP port STARTTLS
💡 Result:
There is no publicly available GitHub Action specifically named hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action. Analysis of the hyperpolymath organization's repositories reveals that they consistently use the widely adopted dawidd6/action-send-mail action for their email notification workflows [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. For the dawidd6/action-send-mail action (and similar tools like simonsfoundation/action-send-mail [8]), the handling of secure SMTP ports and STARTTLS is generally managed through the following configuration parameters: - server_port: Specifies the SMTP server port (e.g., 465 for implicit TLS or 587 for STARTTLS) [9][8]. - secure: A boolean flag. When set to true, it typically enables implicit TLS (common with port 465) [8]. When set to false, it is often used for connections that upgrade to TLS via the STARTTLS command (common with port 587) [8]. If you are configuring your own workflows, you should check the documentation for the specific action you are using (e.g., dawidd6/action-send-mail), as parameter behaviors can vary between different action implementations [10][8]. To achieve a secure connection using STARTTLS, you would typically set your server_port to 587 and ensure the secure flag is set to false (unless the action's documentation specifies otherwise for STARTTLS) [8].

site:github.com/hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action "secure" "v0.2.0"
💡 Result:
The repository’s v0.2.0 usage example sets:
secure: trueHere, secure: true means implicit TLS/SMTPS from the first byte, typically on port 465. secure: false means STARTTLS, which is accepted but not yet implemented. (github.com)
Citations:
Configure SMTP_PORT for implicit TLS before enabling email.
hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action@v0.2.0 maps secure: true to implicit TLS. If the SMTP server uses port 587 for STARTTLS, the action fails because STARTTLS is not implemented. Use an implicit-TLS endpoint, normally port 465.
