This is useful for users who want to maintain their own keymaps without having to fork the main QMK repository. - -## Howto configure your build targets - -1. Run the normal `qmk setup` procedure if you haven't already done so -- see [QMK Docs](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/newbs) for details. -1. Fork this repository -1. Clone your fork to your local machine -1. Add a new keymap for your board using `qmk new-keymap` - * This will create a new keymap in the `keyboards` directory, in the same location that would normally be used in the main QMK repository. For example, if you wanted to add a keymap for the Planck, it will be created in `keyboards/planck/keymaps/` - * You can also create a new keymap using `qmk new-keymap -kb -km ` - * Alternatively, add your keymap manually by placing it in the location specified above. - * `layouts///keymap.*` is also supported if you prefer the layout system -1. Add your keymap(s) to the build by running `qmk userspace-add -kb -km ` - * This will automatically update your `qmk.json` file - * Corresponding `qmk userspace-remove -kb -km ` will delete it - * Listing the build targets can be done with with `qmk userspace-list` -1.

Compile normally: `qmk compile -kb your_keyboard -km your_keymap` or `make your_keyboard:your_keymap` - -Alternatively, if you configured your build targets above, you can use `qmk userspace-compile` to build all of your userspace targets at once. - -## Extra info - -If you wish to point GitHub actions to a different repository, a different branch, or even a different keymap name, you can modify `.github/workflows/build_binaries.yml` to suit your needs. - -To override the `build` job, you can change the following parameters to use a different QMK repository or branch: -``` - with: - qmk_repo: qmk/qmk_firmware - qmk_ref: master -``` - -If you wish to manually manage `qmk_firmware` using git within the userspace repository, you can add `qmk_firmware` as a submodule in the userspace directory instead. GitHub Actions will automatically use the submodule at the pinned revision if it exists, otherwise it will use the default latest revision of `qmk_firmware` from the main repository. - -This can also be used to control which fork is used, though only upstream `qmk_firmware` will have support for external userspace until other manufacturers update their forks. - -1.
