I have cut a lot of metal roofing with the circular saw. I use a standard metal cutting blade.

I got a blade from my steel dealer to put it in a Skil saw got a bunch of teeth on it you cut a stack of that metal at one time .....you better have some glasses and long sleeve shirt or it's going to hurt can't ....remember what the name of the blade is it's going to be at a place that makes gutter ..roofing metal and stamps it out that's who would have it

I’ve used an angle grinder w abrasive wheel a lot. There is a metal wheel with carbide or diamond edge that works and lasts longer.

When cutting length wise I score it a few times with utility knife and then snap it over. If it’s scored right it’ll snap off. Cutting over the humps I have had best results with my angle grinder with a 1/16” abrasive wheel.

If you're not doing much cutting, you can get by with the old methods (grinders with cut-off wheels, backwards saw blades, shears, re-cip saw).
If you have a lot to cut, then I'd use one of the new metal cutting blades for your circular saw.
Bosch invented them and now there are a bunch of knock-offs. They're expensive, $30 - $50 but they last and do an awesome job. I have them re-sharpened at a saw shop.
From a distance they look like a regular Skil Saw blade, but the teeth are a different design.
They will cut through 1/4" wall steel tube almost like it was wood.
Let your saw ride on plywood (make up a jig) so you don't scratch up your paint and if possible, PUT THE CUT END UP. This puts your cut end out of the weather.
The cutting will be LOUD. Wear your ear (and eye) pro.

The blades look like this. Take a look at the teeth.

Are you kidding me? Cutting metal roofing by scoring with a utility knife? I never heard of that, it seems like it wouldn't work.
