This is possible by leveraging [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/features/actions) +to build your firmware for you in the cloud, which you can then download and flash to your device. + +Following the steps in this guide, you will: + +1. Create a new repository in GitHub that will contain your user config. +1. Download and run a small shell script that will automate most of the setup. The script will: + 1. Prompt you for which board (e.g. nice!nano) and shield (e.g. Lily58 or Kyria) you want to create a configuration for. + 1. Prompt you for your GitHub username and repo where the config should be pushed. + 1. Use `git` to clone a template repository that will be the basis for your user's config repository. + 1. Use the given board and shield to update the included GitHub Action to build for the correct hardware. + 1. Commit the initial version. + 1. (If info was provided) Push the local repo to your GitHub repository. +1. Add your own keymap overlay (`keymap.overlay`) file to the repository, and change your keymap. +1. Update the configuration flags for your user config, to enable/disable any ZMK features you would like to include. +1. Commit and push the updates to trigger a new GitHub Action run. + +## Prerequisites + +The remainder of this guide assumes the following prequisites: + +1. You have an active, working [GitHub](https://github.com/) account. +1. You have installed and configured the [`git`](https://git-scm.com/) version control tool. + +## GitHub Repo + +Before running the setup script, you will first need to create a new GitHub repository to host the config. + +1.
