## I don't know where to start!
If this is the case, then you should start with our [Newbs Guide](newbs.md). There is a lot of great info there, and that should cover everything you need to get started.

If that's an issue, hop onto the [QMK Configurator](https://config.qmk.fm), as that will handle a majority of what you need there.
## How can I flash the firmware I built?
First, head to the [Compiling/Flashing FAQ Page](faq_build.md). There is a good deal of info there, and you'll find a bunch of solutions to common issues there.

## But `git` and `GitHub` are intimidating!
Don't worry, we have some pretty nice [Guidelines](newbs_git_best_practices.md) on how to start using `git` and GitHub to make things easier to develop.

## I have a Keyboard that I want to add support for

TMK was originally designed and implemented by [Jun Wako](https://github.com/tmk). QMK started as [Jack Humbert](https://github.com/jackhumbert)'s fork of TMK for the Planck. After a while Jack's fork had diverged quite a bit from TMK, and in 2015 Jack decided to rename his fork to QMK.
From a technical standpoint QMK builds upon TMK by adding several new features. Most notably QMK has expanded the number of available keycodes and uses these to implement advanced features like `S()`, `LCTL()`, and `MO()`. You can see a complete list of these keycodes in [Keycodes](keycodes.md).

From a project and community management standpoint TMK maintains all the officially supported keyboards by himself, with a bit of community support. Separate community maintained forks exist or can be created for other keyboards. Only a few keymaps are provided by default, so users typically don't share keymaps with each other. QMK encourages sharing of both keyboards and keymaps through a centrally managed repository, accepting all pull requests that follow the quality standards. These are mostly community maintained, but the QMK team also helps when necessary.
