## What it is
A distribution repository that publishes official Nintendo Switch system firmware update packages as GitHub releases, primarily for modified consoles running custom firmware (CFW) via the DayBreak installer. It also acts as the firmware database backing the Poyo Discord bot, which serves firmware links and version lookups to users.

## Use cases
- download nintendo switch firmware update package
- update a modded switch to the latest system firmware
- install switch firmware offline with daybreak on cfw
- find switch firmware files for atmosphere custom firmware
- mirror or archive nintendo switch system updates
- programmatically fetch switch firmware versions for a bot or tool

## When to choose
- you run a modified Switch on custom firmware and need firmware files to install from a microSD card with DayBreak
- you want a reliable mirror of Nintendo Switch system update packages across versions
- you operate a bot, indexer, or tool that needs direct links to Switch firmware releases

## When to avoid
- your Switch is unmodified - use Nintendo's official over-the-air system update instead
- you need source code or redistribution rights - the repo ships binaries with no license
- you are looking for Switch homebrew apps or tools rather than system firmware itself
