development notes:

How we handle asynchronous actions

We use 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

  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.

git tag 0.0.1dev$whatever && git push

The Travis CI configuration will run a build and publish binaries here.
