To help keep your Nintendo Switch's SD cards up to date with homebrew
These instructions will help you get your Nintendo Switch's SD cards setup properly for running homebrew applications. It is never recommended to use this repository as your main source of the latest homebrew developments, only as an accessory to help keep your SD card updated. It is always recommended to follow Plailect's Switch Hacks Guide to understand what files are being placed onto your SD card and what each file is for, ensuring you know how to use them and whether or not you want them.
