Create your own folder in `users/` named the same as your keymap (ideally your github username, `<name>`) with the following structure: * `/users/<name>/` (added to the path automatically) - * `readme.md` + * `readme.md` (optional, recommended) * `rules.mk` (included automatically) * `<name>.h` (optional) * `<name>.c` (optional) + * `config.h` (optional) `<name>.c` will need to be added to the SRC in `rules.mk` like this: @@ -24,10 +25,31 @@ For example, Will include the `/users/jack/` folder in the path, along with `/users/jack/rules.mk`. +Additionally, `config.h` here will be processed like the same file in your keymap folder. This is handled separately from the `<name>.h` file. + +The reason for this, is that `<name>.h` won't be added in time to add settings (such as `#define TAPPING_TERM 100`), and including the `<name.h>` file in any `config.h` files will result in compile issues. + +So you should use the `config.h` for QMK settings, and the `<name>.h` file for user or keymap specific settings. + ## Readme Please include authorship (your name, github username, email), and optionally [a license that's GPL compatible](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#GPLCompatibleLicenses). +## `Config.h` + +If you do add a `config,h` file, you want to make sure that it only gets processed once.
