QMK
Initialization
I have a mirror and a fork of the mirror on my personal Gitea. For this strategy you'll need to checkout the fork and add the mirror. This ensures I'll always have an up-to-date mirror of qmk while also giving me a repo to make changes for my personal keyboards.
git clone git@gitea.reeseapps.com:ducoterra/qmk_firmware.git
cd qmk_firmware
git remote add mirror git@gitea.reeseapps.com:mirrors/qmk_firmware.git
git fetch mirror
git rebase mirror/master
pacman -S qmk
qmk setup
sudo cp /home/ducoterra/qmk_firmware/util/udev/50-qmk.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
qmk config user.keyboard=keychron/q11/ansi_encoder
qmk config user.keymap=ducoterra
Development
Every time you start a project you'll want to sync with the mirror.
git fetch mirror
git rebase mirror/master
Commit to master while you're in the fork.
