Skip builds on Travis CI with "[skip travis]"

.travis.yml

sudo: false

language: php

git:
  depth: 5

php:
  - 7.0

before_install:
  - if echo "$TRAVIS_COMMIT_MESSAGE" | grep -F -q "[skip travis]" ; then echo "[skip travis] has been found, exiting" && exit 0 ; else echo "[skip travis] has not been found, continuing" ; fi

script:
  - echo "OK, I should not see this"

Why did I created this gist? See travis-ci/travis-ci#5032

Results:

• commit without [skip travis] in the commit message, "OK, I should not see this" is displayed: https://travis-ci.org/alexislefebvre/AsyncTweetsBundle/builds/193214754
• commit with [skip travis] in the commit message, "OK, I should not see this" is not displayed: https://travis-ci.org/alexislefebvre/AsyncTweetsBundle/builds/193215031

Ways to improve this:

• support [skip travis] or [travis skip], for people who forget the order of words
• find a cleaner way to get the last commit, because git show -s HEAD displays the author name and the date. Someone may be able to skip builds by using [skip travis] as its author name

Update: use $TRAVIS_COMMIT_MESSAGE instead of git show -s HEAD

This doesn't work for skipping pull requests that have [skip travis] in the commit message.
