Current steps for a release

1. Update Version in main.go
2. Update CHANGELOG.md
3. Tag
4. Push everything
5. Wait for the github workflows to complete
6. Download and verify the correct version of one of the binaries
7. Finish the draft release and publish.
8. Check gotop-builder for a successful everything build; if successful, publish.
9. Wait for the [AUR](https://github.com/xxxserxxx/gotop-linux] project to finish building.
   1. update arch (gotop-linux) and run aurpublish gotop and aurpublish gotop-bin
   2. Test install gotop and gotop-bin with running & version check
10. Notify Nix
11. Notify Homebrew Automated now.

The AUR project still needs secret credentials to aurpublish to the AUR
repository, so the final publish step is still currently manual.

Oh, what a tangled web.

3. docker run -it --rm --mount type=bind,source="\$(pwd)",target=/mnt nixos/nix sh
4. cd /mnt
5. install & run vgo2nix to update deps.nix
6. nix-build -A gotop
7. When it fails, ...
