+# These settings allow using `fdroid deploy` for publishing APK files from

+# an example for this deployment automation:
+# https://github.com/f-droid/fdroidclient/releases/
+#
+# Currently, versions which are assigned to a release channel (e.g. alpha or

+#
+# In the example below, tokens are read from environment variables. Putting
+# tokens directly into the config file is also supported but discouraged. It is
+# highly recommended to use a "Fine-grained personal access token", which is
+# restricted to the minimum required permissions, which are:
+#  * Metadata - read
+#  * Contents - read/write
