## What it is
Nut is a multi-purpose Python utility with a GUI for organizing, managing, and installing Nintendo Switch game files (NSP, NSZ, XCI, XCZ). It can act as a USB and network server for the Tinfoil homebrew installer and supports compression, decompression, and Google Drive integration.

## Use cases
- organize my nintendo switch nsp library into folders
- serve switch games to tinfoil over usb or network
- compress nsp files to nsz to save disk space
- decompress nsz files back to nsp
- pull new switch game files from remote locations
- manage switch game library on google drive
- scan and list switch title ids and file sizes

## When to choose
- you manage a local library of Nintendo Switch game files and use Tinfoil
- you need batch compression between NSP and NSZ formats
- you want a self-hosted USB or network install server for Switch files

## When to avoid
- you need to manage games for consoles other than the Nintendo Switch
- you want a legally sanctioned storefront or official game installer
- you need a headless-only tool with no GUI or Tinfoil integration
