CItron [si.tʁon] is a C#-based CI/CD tool.

It's totally unrelated to the Yuzu-fork (Switch emulator).

Creating and maintaining a CI/CD system is an arduous task in itself: testing locally is sometimes impossible or involves a lot of jumping through hoops, dependencies such as required programs, environment variables and secrets must be managed -- often in separate procedures, and often mistakes can only be discovered, debugged and resolved after stopping the production.

To make things worse, migrating from one system to another is a larger project, that often surpasses what an individual dev or a small team can achieve within a strict temporal constraint.

Building on my previous attempt to make GHA CI easier to handle, CItron's approach is to implement a CI/CD system entirely in C#, in a way that allows easier local testing, easier porting from one CI/CD backend to another, as well as (hopefully) easier environment management.

As I start working on this project, the goal is to become independent of GitHub Actions, CircleCI or whatever else CI/CD system there is, in a way of being able to painlessly migrate my personal repos to other Git hosts if needed.

Citron.CLI is the frontend executable.

Citron.Core is the library implementing the core functionality.

Citron.RRR is the library implementing Runtime Roslyn Recompilation, a feature used to allow local feature extension.

Until we are self-hosted, the build command is using dotnet.
