Now that you have setup your build environment you are ready to start building custom firmware. For this section of the guide we will bounce between 3 programs- your file manager, your text editor, and your terminal window. Keep all 3 open until you are done and happy with your keyboard firmware.
## Configure Your Build Environment Defaults (Optional)
You can configure your build environment to set the defaults and make working with QMK less tedious. Let's do that now!
Most people new to QMK only have 1 keyboard. You can set this keyboard as your default with the `qmk config` command. For example, to set your default keyboard to `clueboard/66/rev4`:
qmk config user.keyboard=clueboard/66/rev4
?> The keyboard option is the path relative to the keyboard directory, the above example would be found in `qmk_firmware/keyboards/clueboard/66/rev4`. If you're unsure you can view a full list of supported keyboards with `qmk list-keyboards`.
You can also set your default keymap name. Most people use their GitHub username like the keymap name from the previous steps:
qmk config user.keymap=<github_username>
## Create a New Keymap
To create your own keymap you'll want to create a copy of the `default` keymap. If you configured your build environment in the last step you can do that easily with the QMK CLI:

## 5. Configure Your Build Environment (Optional)

You can also set your default keymap name. Most people use their GitHub username here, and we recommend that you do too.

The keyboard can now be compiled without arguments using the following command after creating your keymap in the next section:
qmk compile
# Creating Your Keymap
You are now ready to create your own personal keymap! Move on to [Building Your First Firmware](newbs_building_firmware.md) for that.
