I'm not sure what a good way to upvote an issue here would be but I would like this feature too. Same reason, to avoid build loops with automatic commits.

I'm exactly in the same configuration:
Our jenkins instance hosts some jobs typed as "Continuous delivery".
Those jobs are triggered by github with this plugin.

So it means we compile, package execute some test and then release it automatically
At some point, release means changing version inside the pom.xml and pushing into the remote repository in order to share the new version (snapshot) across all developers.

... and there we enter in a loop because after pushing, github detect a change and call back again jenkins

So it could be nice in the admin section of the plugin (or maybe per project) to be able to enter a "blacklist/ignore) username.
In case where this username field is set, the plugin ignore commit done by this user

Do you think possible to do this type of enhancement ?
Thx

Can help gitscm setup?

lanwen I gonna test it but I think It can not help because in fact there is no polling.
Job is trigerred by github itself, git information is just used to checkout/rebase the master branch

in code it looks like this:

boolean result = SCMTriggerItems.asSCMTriggerItem(job).poll(listener).hasChanges();

so there is a polling with help of git plugin itself

Hi

Unfortunately it doesn't work.
As mentioned into help of git plugin (see screen-shot)
It looks like it's call only when the option "poll for changes is enabled", which is not my case.

Can you put the priority higher please, it's really closed to a bug because it means when you enable this option for your build it assumes your job cannot do some git push otherwise you're gonna enter in a loop.

Continuous Delivery is really a strong market trend and it could be nice to use this plugin in order to reach this goal

I'll have a look into the jenkins plugin (but never do that before), for someone who know the API it should be easy to add just a string field close to "Build when a change is pushed to GitHub" and do not trigger this build if last push is done by this user (could be more easy at global config).

Thx
