## Utilities
### Disable Caching temporarily
To disable any of the provided caches for a pipeline one can set `NIX_CI_DISABLE_CACHE` to
anything non-empty (eg. "yes") when triggering the pipeline.
The `build:nix-ci` job has a different special environment variable `NIX_CI_SKIP_CACHE`
(useful if the generated pipeline is outdated but caching should generally still take place).
