Thank you so much Ludovic! :-) (1) The setup for Self-Hosted GitHub Runners is actually quite complex. And we might have security issues, running unauthorised code pushed down from GitHub: https://lupyuen.github.io/articles/ci
(2) I feel we're a bit too locked-in with GitHub right now. We might need to run CI Checks on our own PCs with Docker. Or run the CI Checks in our own repo, so they won't be charged to NuttX: https://lupyuen.codeberg.page/articles/ci3.html#appendix-check-our-pr-submission (3) For macOS Folks: Soon we can run CI Checks on our own Apple Silicon Macs!
