## development notes:

### How we handle asynchronous actions

We use [trio-gtk](https://github.com/decentral1se/trio-gtk). In practice, this means you need to arrange the following:

1. Wire up your usual hook (`self.drop_box.connect("drag-data-received", self.on_drop)`)
2. In your hook function, call your asynchronous function via the `self.nursery.start_soon` API
3. Define your asynchronous function with `async def` and use the `await` keyword as usual

## operations:

### github mirror:

Add the following to the bottom of your `.git/config`.

```
[remote "all"]
  url = ssh://gitea@vvvvvvaria.org:12345/rra/dropship.git
  url = git@github.com:decentral1se/dropship.git
```

The `git push -u all main` will setup `git push` to automatically push to both remotes.

### make a release:

`git tag 0.0.1dev$whatever && git push`

The [Travis CI configuration](https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/rra/dropship/src/branch/main/.travis.yml) will run [a build](https://travis-ci.org/github/decentral1se/dropship) and [publish binaries here](https://github.com/decentral1se/dropship/releases).
