GitHub Actions push event deleted branch head_commit null workflow syntax branches filter
💡 Result:
When a Git branch is deleted, GitHub triggers a push event with the deleted flag set to true in the webhook payload [1][2][3]. In this scenario, the head_commit property in the payload is null [1][3]. To handle this in your GitHub Actions workflow, you should be aware of the following technical behaviors: 1. Payload Structure: Because head_commit is null when a branch is deleted, any attempt to access properties like ${{ github.event.head_commit.message }} will fail or cause runtime errors if the workflow is triggered by a branch deletion [4][5]. You should implement conditional checks or use safe access patterns in your workflow logic to account for this [5]. 2. Branches Filter: The branches filter in the workflow syntax (on.push.branches) controls which branch pushes trigger the workflow [6][7]. When a branch is deleted, it is still technically a push event [1]. If your workflow has a branches filter that matches the name of the deleted branch, the workflow will be triggered unless the event payload is explicitly handled [2]. To prevent workflows from running on branch deletions, you can check the deleted status within a job step: jobs: job_name: if: github.event.deleted == false runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - name: Your step run: echo "This only runs if the branch was not deleted." 3. Context Access: If your workflow accesses github.event.head_commit without verifying that the event is a standard push (and not a deletion), you may encounter errors [5]. If you need information about the pushed commits, rely on the commits array in the payload instead of head_commit, but note that this array is also often empty or null during a deletion event [1][3].

Skip deleted branch pushes.
on.push.branches: ['**'] also matches branch-deletion push events. These payloads set github.event.deleted to true and github.event.head_commit to null, so the job can send an incomplete notification. Add the deletion guard and update the comment at line 14.

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.
