# Userspace: sharing code between keymaps
|
|
|
|
If you use more than one keyboard with a similar keymap, you might see the benefit in being able to share code between them. Create your own folder in `users/` named the same as your keymap (ideally your github username, `<name>`) with the following structure:
|
|
|
|
* `/users/<name>/` (added to the path automatically)
|
|
* `readme.md`
|
|
* `rules.mk` (included automatically)
|
|
* `<name>.h` (optional)
|
|
* `<name>.c` (optional)
|
|
|
|
`<name>.c` will need to be added to the SRC in `rules.mk` like this:
|
|
|
|
SRC += <name>.c
|
|
|
|
Additional files may be added in the same way - it's recommended you have one named `<name>`.c/.h though.
|
|
|
|
All this only happens when you build a keymap named `<name>`, like this:
|
|
|
|
make planck:<name>
|
|
|
|
For example,
|
|
|
|
make planck:jack
|
|
|
|
Will include the `/users/jack/` folder in the path, along with `/users/jack/rules.mk`.
