 Notes on CIRCLE CI
 ------------------
 This code is heavily based on the origin [CircleCI]() work. There a quite a few differences
-- CCI supports workflow level variables, in GA we must define things like `BUILDSERVER: ${{ secrets.BUILDSERVER }}` in every job
 - CCI allows a much larger cache. The entire CY directory with toolchains and RTL could be cached, with GA there is a 5Gb total cache limit
 - GA support more parallel jobs 20 vs 4
 - GA seems to allow much longer run times
