 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:
