deploying to github releases from travisci-windows

this post will be kind of short but basicly the trick to getting it to work requires travis.yml file that looks like

language: cpp
notifications:
  email: false
matrix:
  include:
  - os: osx
    osx_image: xcode11.3
    addons:

        - sdl2_mixer
    script: "./build.sh"
    cache:
      directories:
      - "$HOME/Library/Caches/Homebrew"
    before_cache:
    - brew cleanup
    deploy:

branches:
  except:
  - legacy
  - experimental
  - /^untagged/

The magic here involves making sure to place the build file for windows in a path you can refrence. Thats why i placed it in the C:/ path
