Proper repo for customization?

[wespiard]

I've been reading around for old and new methods of customizing layers/keys. I somewhat understand the process based on #85, but I'm not sure which repo/branch I should be using to get the most up-to-date results.

QMK master seems to not have these custom files or the babel folder. Should I just switch to the miryoku branch of the main QMK repo, or perhaps fork my own copy of the Miryoku QMK repo?

Basically, I'd like to add a custom gaming layer (not just the QWERTY tap-only layer, but similar), change some of the thumb buttons around (I like space on the right side, and I don't need the mouse/button layers).

Currently for customisation of Miryoku QMK using #85, you need to be using the miryoku branch. I've just added a note to the docs. Also I'll be making a PR soon, and after that you'll be able to use the feature from master.

In general, to use the most recently added features you'll need to use miryoku, but I'll try to make PRs frequently so master won't get too far behind.

If you also need recent features from master that aren't in miryoku, such as new keyboards, you can merge both branches. See the Miryoku QMK workflow docs for an easy way to do that. Also I'll be rebasing miryoku on master soon.

To build locally it's probably best to add a remote, but to use the workflows you'll need to fork.
