### Manual trigger
1. Go to the `Actions` tab in your fork
2. Select the emu dependencies Workflow (ex: `Emu third-party dependencies (Windows) `) and run it on the **main** branch (ex: `dev`).
Dependencies not created on the main branch won't be recognized by other branches or subsequent runs
3. Select one of the Workflow scripts from the left side panel, for example `Build all emu variants (Windows)`
3. On the top-right, select `Run workflow` -> select the desired branch (for example `dev`) -> press the button `Run workflow`
4. When it's done, many packages (called build artifacts) will be created for that workflow.
Make sure to select the workflow again to view its history, then select the last run at the very top to view its artifacts

In any of the following trigger methods, when you run a workflow (build script), the dependencies will be cached to decrease the build times of the next triggers, and avoid unnecessary/wasteful build process.

### Automatic triggers
The following are special branches, pushing any code to them will trigger the build Workflow scripts:
* `ci-build-emu-linux*`: any branch matching this pattern will trigger the **Linux** build of the emu
Example of a valid branch name:
- `ci-build-emu-linux`
- `ci-build-emu-linux-test1`
- `ci-build-emu-linux_trial`
* `ci-build-emu-win*`: any branch matching this pattern will trigger the **Windows** build of the emu
Example of a valid branch name:
- `ci-build-emu-win`
- `ci-build-emu-win-test_x`
- `ci-build-emu-win_feature_y`
>>>>>>>>> ___
* `ci-build-gen-linux*`: any branch matching this pattern will trigger the **Linux** build of the script `generate_emu_config`
Example of a valid branch name:
- `ci-build-gen-linux`
- `ci-build-gen-linux-test1`
- `ci-build-gen-linux_trial`
* `ci-build-gen-win*`: any branch matching this pattern will trigger the **Windows** build of the script `generate_emu_config`
Example of a valid branch name:
- `ci-build-gen-win`
- `ci-build-gen-win-test1`
- `ci-build-gen-win_trial`

* `ci-build-migrate-linux*`: any branch matching this pattern will trigger the **Linux** build of the script `migrate_gse`
Example of a valid branch name:
- `ci-build-migrate-linux`
- `ci-build-migrate-linux-test1`
- `ci-build-migrate-linux_trial`
* `ci-build-migrate-win*`: any branch matching this pattern will trigger the **Windows** build of the script `migrate_gse`
Example of a valid branch name:

- `ci-build-migrate-win-test1`
