+I would like to move the whole pipeline logic out of the `.drone.yml` file. But I will do it later.

+After our application set is deployed, we need to update the application the is created by it. I would like to use the `argocd` cli tool for that. to sync one app we need to use selectors, and I'd like to go with labels. So let's first add labels to our `ApplicationSet`
+
+```YAML
+...
+  template:
+    metadata:
+      name: "{{ app }}-{{ name }}"
+      namespace: argo-system
+      labels:
+        branch: "{{ name }}"
+        application: "{{ app }}"
