| # QMK CLI Commands
 | |
| 
 | |
| # User Commands
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## `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.
 | |
| 
 | |
| This command is directory aware. It will automatically fill in KEYBOARD and/or KEYMAP if you are in a keyboard or keymap directory.
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Usage for Configurator Exports**:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| qmk compile [-c] <configuratorExport.json>
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Usage for Keymaps**:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| qmk compile [-c] [-e <var>=<value>] [-j <num_jobs>] -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
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Usage for building all keyboards that support a specific keymap**:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| qmk compile -kb all -km <keymap_name>
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| **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 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
 | |
| ...
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Parallel Compilation**:
 | |
| 
 | |
| It is possible to speed up compilation by adding the `-j`/`--parallel` flag.
 | |
| ```
 | |
| qmk compile -j <num_jobs> -kb <keyboard_name>
 | |
| ```
 | |
| The `num_jobs` argument determines the maximum number of jobs that can be used. Setting it to zero will enable parallel compilation without limiting the maximum number of jobs.
 | |
| ```
 | |
| qmk compile -j 0 -kb <keyboard_name>
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## `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) guide for more details of the available bootloaders.
 | |
| 
 | |
| This command is directory aware. It will automatically fill in KEYBOARD and/or KEYMAP if you are in a keyboard or keymap directory.
 | |
| 
 | |
| This command can also flash binary firmware files (hex or bin) such as the ones produced by [Configurator](https://config.qmk.fm).
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Usage for Configurator Exports**:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| qmk flash [-bl <bootloader>] [-c] [-e <var>=<value>] [-j <num_jobs>] <configuratorExport.json>
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Usage for Keymaps**:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| qmk flash -kb <keyboard_name> -km <keymap_name> [-bl <bootloader>] [-c] [-e <var>=<value>] [-j <num_jobs>]
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Usage for pre-compiled firmwares**:
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Note**: The microcontroller needs to be specified (`-m` argument) for keyboards with the following bootloaders:
 | |
| * HalfKay
 | |
| * QMK HID
 | |
| * USBaspLoader
 | |
| 
 | |
| ISP flashing is also supported with the following flashers and require the microcontroller to be specified:
 | |
| * USBasp
 | |
| * USBtinyISP
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| qmk flash [-m <microcontroller>] <compiledFirmware.[bin|hex]>
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| **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).
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Usage**:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| qmk config [-ro] [config_token1] [config_token2] [...] [config_tokenN]
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## `qmk cd`
 | |
| 
 | |
| This command opens a new shell in your `qmk_firmware` directory.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Note that if you are already somewhere within `QMK_HOME` (for example, the `keyboards/` folder), nothing will happen.
 | |
| 
 | |
| To exit out into the parent shell, simply type `exit`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Usage**:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| qmk cd
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## `qmk find`
 | |
| 
 | |
| This command allows for searching through keyboard/keymap targets, filtering by specific criteria. `info.json` and `rules.mk` files contribute to the search data, as well as keymap configurations, and the results can be filtered using "dotty" syntax matching the overall `info.json` file format.
 | |
| 
 | |
| For example, one could search for all keyboards using STM32F411:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| qmk find -f 'processor=STM32F411'
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ...and one can further constrain the list to keyboards using STM32F411 as well as rgb_matrix support:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| qmk find -f 'processor=STM32F411' -f 'features.rgb_matrix=true'
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| The following filter expressions are also supported:
 | |
| 
 | |
|  - `exists(key)`: Match targets where `key` is present.
 | |
|  - `absent(key)`: Match targets where `key` is not present.
 | |
|  - `contains(key, value)`: Match targets where `key` contains `value`. Can be used for strings, arrays and object keys.
 | |
|  - `length(key, value)`: Match targets where the length of `key` is `value`. Can be used for strings, arrays and objects.
 | |
| 
 | |
| You can also list arbitrary values for each matched target with `--print`:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| qmk find -f 'processor=STM32F411' -p 'keyboard_name' -p 'features.rgb_matrix'
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Usage**:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| qmk find [-h] [-km KEYMAP] [-p PRINT] [-f FILTER]
 | |
| 
 | |
| options:
 | |
|   -km KEYMAP, --keymap KEYMAP
 | |
|                         The keymap name to build. Default is 'default'.
 | |
|   -p PRINT, --print PRINT
 | |
|                         For each matched target, print the value of the supplied info.json key. May be passed multiple times.
 | |
|   -f FILTER, --filter FILTER
 | |
|                         Filter the list of keyboards based on their info.json data. Accepts the formats key=value, function(key), or function(key,value), eg. 'features.rgblight=true'. Valid functions are 'absent', 'contains', 'exists' and 'length'. May be passed multiple times; all filters need to match. Value may include wildcards such as '*' and '?'.
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## `qmk console`
 | |
| 
 | |
| This command lets you connect to keyboard consoles to get debugging messages. It only works if your keyboard firmware has been compiled with `CONSOLE_ENABLE=yes`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Usage**:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| qmk console [-d <pid>:<vid>[:<index>]] [-l] [-n] [-t] [-w <seconds>]
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Examples**:
 | |
| 
 | |
| Connect to all available keyboards and show their console messages:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| qmk console
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| List all devices:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| qmk console -l
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| Show only messages from clueboard/66/rev3 keyboards:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| qmk console -d C1ED:2370
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| Show only messages from the second clueboard/66/rev3:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| qmk console -d C1ED:2370:2
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| Show timestamps and VID:PID instead of names:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| qmk console -n -t
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| Disable bootloader messages:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| qmk console --no-bootloaders
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## `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 format-json`
 | |
| 
 | |
| Formats a JSON file in a (mostly) human-friendly way. Will usually correctly detect the format of the JSON (info.json or keymap.json) but you can override this with `--format` if necessary.
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Usage**:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| qmk format-json [-f FORMAT] <json_file>
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## `qmk info`
 | |
| 
 | |
| Displays information about keyboards and keymaps in QMK. You can use this to get information about a keyboard, show the layouts, display the underlying key matrix, or to pretty-print JSON keymaps.
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Usage**:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| qmk info [-f FORMAT] [-m] [-l] [-km KEYMAP] [-kb KEYBOARD]
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| This command is directory aware. It will automatically fill in KEYBOARD and/or KEYMAP if you are in a keyboard or keymap directory.
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Examples**:
 | |
| 
 | |
| Show basic information for a keyboard:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |

| Show a JSON keymap for a keyboard:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| qmk info -kb clueboard/california -km default
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## `qmk json2c`
 | |
| 
 | |
| Creates a keymap.c from a QMK Configurator export.

 | |
| 
 | |
| **Usage**:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| qmk c2json -km KEYMAP -kb KEYBOARD [-q] [--no-cpp] [-o OUTPUT] filename
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Examples**:
 | |

 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| or with filename:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| qmk c2json keyboards/handwired/dactyl_promicro/keymaps/default/keymap.c
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## `qmk lint`
 | |

| # Developer Commands
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## `qmk format-text`
 | |
| 
 | |
| This command formats text files to have proper line endings.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Every text file in the repository needs to have Unix (LF) line ending.
 | |
| If you are working on **Windows**, you must ensure that line endings are corrected in order to get your PRs merged.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| qmk format-text
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## `qmk format-c`
 | |
| 
 | |
| 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 format-c [file1] [file2] [...] [fileN]
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Usage for all core files**:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| qmk format-c -a
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Usage for only changed files against origin/master**:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| qmk format-c
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Usage for only changed files against branch_name**:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| qmk format-c -b branch_name
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## `qmk generate-compilation-database`
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Usage**:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| qmk generate-compilation-database [-kb KEYBOARD] [-km KEYMAP]
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| Creates a `compile_commands.json` file.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Does your IDE/editor use a language server but doesn't _quite_ find all the necessary include files? Do you hate red squigglies? Do you wish your editor could figure out `#include QMK_KEYBOARD_H`? You might need a [compilation database](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/JSONCompilationDatabase.html)! The qmk tool can build this for you.
 | |
| 
 | |
| This command needs to know which keyboard and keymap to build. It uses the same configuration options as the `qmk compile` command: arguments, current directory, and config files.
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Example:**
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| $ cd ~/qmk_firmware/keyboards/gh60/satan/keymaps/colemak
 | |
| $ qmk generate-compilation-database
 | |
| Ψ Making clean
 | |
| Ψ Gathering build instructions from make -n gh60/satan:colemak
 | |
| Ψ Found 50 compile commands
 | |
| Ψ Writing build database to /Users/you/src/qmk_firmware/compile_commands.json
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| Now open your dev environment and live a squiggly-free life.
