+
+# CLI Commands
+
+## `qmk cformat`
+
+This command formats C code using clang-format.
+
+Run it with no arguments to format all core code that has been changed. Default checks `origin/master` with `git diff`, branch can be changed using `-b <branch_name>`
+
+Run it with `-a` to format all core code, or pass filenames on the command line to run it on specific files.
+
+**Usage for specified files**:
+
+```
+qmk cformat [file1] [file2] [...] [fileN]
+```
+
+**Usage for all core files**:
+
+```
+qmk cformat -a
+```
+
+**Usage for only changed files against origin/master**:
+
+```
+qmk cformat
+```
+
+**Usage for only changed files against branch_name**:
+
+```
+qmk cformat -b branch_name
+```
+
+## `qmk compile`
+
+This command allows you to compile firmware from any directory. You can compile JSON exports from <https://config.qmk.fm>, compile keymaps in the repo, or compile the keyboard in the current working directory.
+
+**Usage for Configurator Exports**:
+
+```
+qmk compile <configuratorExport.json>
+```
+
+**Usage for Keymaps**:
+
+```
+qmk compile -kb <keyboard_name> -km <keymap_name>
+```
+
+**Usage in Keyboard Directory**:
+
+Must be in keyboard directory with a default keymap, or in keymap directory for keyboard, or supply one with `--keymap <keymap_name>`
+```
+qmk compile
+```
+
+**Example**:
+```
+$ qmk config compile.keymap=default
+$ cd ~/qmk_firmware/keyboards/planck/rev6
+$ qmk compile
+Ψ Compiling keymap with make planck/rev6:default
+...
+```
+or with optional keymap argument
+
+```
+$ cd ~/qmk_firmware/keyboards/clueboard/66/rev4
+$ qmk compile -km 66_iso
+Ψ Compiling keymap with make clueboard/66/rev4:66_iso
+...
+```
+or in keymap directory
+
+```
+$ cd ~/qmk_firmware/keyboards/gh60/satan/keymaps/colemak
+$ qmk compile
+Ψ Compiling keymap with make make gh60/satan:colemak
+...
+```
+
+**Usage in Layout Directory**:
+
+Must be under `qmk_firmware/layouts/`, and in a keymap folder.
+```
+qmk compile -kb <keyboard_name>
+```
+
+**Example**:
+```
+$ cd ~/qmk_firmware/layouts/community/60_ansi/mechmerlin-ansi
+$ qmk compile -kb dz60
+Ψ Compiling keymap with make dz60:mechmerlin-ansi
+...
+```
+
+## `qmk flash`
+
+This command is similar to `qmk compile`, but can also target a bootloader. The bootloader is optional, and is set to `:flash` by default.
+To specify a different bootloader, use `-bl <bootloader>`. Visit the [Flashing Firmware](flashing.md) guide for more details of the available bootloaders.
+
+**Usage for Configurator Exports**:
+
+```
+qmk flash <configuratorExport.json> -bl <bootloader>
+```
+
+**Usage for Keymaps**:
+
+```
+qmk flash -kb <keyboard_name> -km <keymap_name> -bl <bootloader>
+```
+
+**Listing the Bootloaders**
+
+```
+qmk flash -b
+```
+
+## `qmk config`
+
+This command lets you configure the behavior of QMK. For the full `qmk config` documentation see [CLI Configuration](cli_configuration.md).
+
+**Usage**:
+
+```
+qmk config [-ro] [config_token1] [config_token2] [...] [config_tokenN]
+```
+
+## `qmk docs`
+
+This command starts a local HTTP server which you can use for browsing or improving the docs. Default port is 8936.
+
+**Usage**:
+
+```
+qmk docs [-p PORT]
+```
+
+## `qmk doctor`
+
+This command examines your environment and alerts you to potential build or flash problems. It can fix many of them if you want it to.
+
+**Usage**:
+
+```
+qmk doctor [-y] [-n]
+```
+
+**Examples**:
+
+Check your environment for problems and prompt to fix them:
+
+ qmk doctor
+
+Check your environment and automatically fix any problems found:
+
+ qmk doctor -y
+
+Check your environment and report problems only:
+
+ qmk doctor -n
+
+## `qmk json2c`
+
+Creates a keymap.c from a QMK Configurator export.
+
+**Usage**:
+
+```
+qmk json2c [-o OUTPUT] filename
+```
+
+## `qmk kle2json`
+
+This command allows you to convert from raw KLE data to QMK Configurator JSON. It accepts either an absolute file path, or a file name in the current directory. By default it will not overwrite `info.json` if it is already present. Use the `-f` or `--force` flag to overwrite.
+
+**Usage**:
+
+```
+qmk kle2json [-f] <filename>
+```
+
+**Examples**:
+
+```
+$ qmk kle2json kle.txt
+☒ File info.json already exists, use -f or --force to overwrite.
+```

+```
+$ qmk kle2json -f kle.txt -f
+Ψ Wrote out to info.json
+```
+

+```
+qmk list-keyboards
+```
+
+## `qmk list-keymaps`
