Drone

An example YAML file for configuring Uplift to run on Drone1. Instructions for deploying a self-hosted instance of drone can be found here. Uplift requires write permissions to your repository. A Personal Access Token needs to be configured with the public_repo permission and added to Drone as an encrypted secret.
