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 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.

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.

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:

qmk info -kb planck/rev5

Show the matrix for a keyboard:

qmk info -kb ergodox_ez -m

Show a JSON keymap for a keyboard:

Creates a keymap.c from a QMK Configurator export.

Usage:

qmk json2c [-o OUTPUT] filename

`qmk c2json`

Creates a keymap.json from a keymap.c.

Note: Parsing C source files is not easy, therefore this subcommand may not work with your keymap. In some cases not using the C pre-processor helps.

Usage:

qmk c2json -km KEYMAP -kb KEYBOARD [-q] [--no-cpp] [-o OUTPUT] filename

Examples:

qmk c2json -km default -kb handwired/dactyl_promicro

or with filename:

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 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! 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
