travis.yml template is no longer working

Bug Report

Hello all,

The travis.yml template is not working. I'm getting the following error:

$ crystal --version
No command 'crystal' found, did you mean:
 Command 'gcrystal' from package 'gcrystal' (universe)
crystal: command not found

$ shards --version
shards: command not found

0.08s$ shards install
shards: command not found
The command "shards install" failed and exited with 127 during .

This will hopefully start working again once travis-ci/travis-build#1987 is merged.

But we really should drop the template from the generator, in sight of https://blog.travis-ci.com/2021-05-07-orgshutdown if nothing else.

Cool, thank you for the response.

Agreed. And according to the poll at https://forum.crystal-lang.org/t/poll-how-do-you-use-crystal-init/2921, now few people are still using Travis CI.

Crystal on Travis CI is broken. There seems to be no drive to fix that (travis-ci/travis-build#1987). I have made my peace with it 🙇
Even if Travis fixes this, I don't think we have enough trust left for having it as the default CI config generated for every Crystal project. See also https://blog.travis-ci.com/2021-05-07-orgshutdown

This means, the Travis CI config file produced by crystal init does not work. It irritates users and must be removed.

We can either add a replacement (#10801) or leave crystal init without CI config for now.
Removal of Travis config should definitely go into 1.1.0, adding a replacement is optional.
