# PR checklists

This is a non-exhaustive checklist of what the QMK collaborators will be checking when reviewing submitted PRs.
This is a non-exhaustive checklist of what the QMK Collaborators will be checking when reviewing submitted PRs.

If there are any inconsistencies with these recommendations, you're best off [creating an issue](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/issues/new) against this document, or getting in touch with a QMK Collaborator on Discord.

## General PRs

- PR should be submitted using a non-`master` branch on the source repository
- This does not mean you target a different branch for your PR, rather that you're not working out of your own master branch
- If submitter _does_ use their own `master` branch, they'll be given a link to the ["how to git"](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/newbs_git_using_your_master_branch) page after merging -- (end of this document will contain the contents of the message)
- Newly-added directories and filenames must be lowercase
- This rule may be relaxed if upstream sources originally had uppercase characters (e.g. ChibiOS, or imported files from other repositories etc.)
- If there is enough justification (i.e. consistency with existing core files etc.) this can be relaxed

- this rule may be relaxed if upstream sources originally had uppercase characters (e.g. ChibiOS, or imported files from other repositories etc.)
- if there is enough justification (i.e. consistency with existing core files etc.) this can be relaxed
- a board designer naming their keyboard with uppercase letters is not enough justification
- Valid license headers on all `*.c` and `*.h` source files
- valid license headers on all `*.c` and `*.h` source files
- GPL2/GPL3 recommended for consistency
- Other licenses are permitted, however they must be GPL-compatible and must allow for redistribution. Using a different license will almost certainly delay a PR getting merged.
- QMK codebase "best practices" followed
- This is not an exhaustive list, and will likely get amended as time goes by

- QMK Codebase "best practices" followed
- this is not an exhaustive list, and will likely get amended as time goes by
- `#pragma once` instead of `#ifndef` include guards in header files
- No "old-school" GPIO/I2C/SPI functions used -- must use QMK abstractions unless justifiable (and laziness is not valid justification)
- Timing abstractions should be followed too:
- no "old-school" GPIO/I2C/SPI functions used -- must use QMK abstractions unless justifiable (and laziness is not valid justification)
- timing abstractions should be followed too:
- `wait_ms()` instead of `_delay_ms()` (remove `#include <util/delay.h>` too)
- `timer_read()` and `timer_read32()` etc. -- see [timer.h](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/tmk_core/common/timer.h) for the timing APIs
- If you think a new abstraction is useful, you're encouraged to:
- if you think a new abstraction is useful, you're encouraged to:
- prototype it in your own keyboard until it's feature-complete
- discuss it with QMK Collaborators on Discord
- refactor it as a separate core change
- remove your specific copy in your board
- rebase and fix all merge conflicts before opening the PR (in case you need help or advice, reach out to QMK Collaborators on Discord)

## Core PRs
## Keymap PRs

- Must now target `develop` branch, which will subsequently be merged back to `master` on the breaking changes timeline
- Other notes TBD
- Core is a lot more subjective given the breadth of posted changes
- `#include QMK_KEYBOARD_H` preferred to including specific board files
- prefer layer `enum`s to `#define`s
- require custom keycode `enum`s to `#define`s, first entry must have ` = SAFE_RANGE`
- terminating backslash (`\`) in lines of LAYOUT macro parameters is superfluous
- some care with spacing (e.g., alignment on commas or first char of keycodes) makes for a much nicer-looking keymap

- standard template should be present
- flash command has `:flash` at end
- valid hardware availability link (unless handwired) -- private groupbuys are okay, but one-off prototypes will be questioned. If open-source, a link to files should be provided.
- clear instructions on how to reset the board into bootloader mode
- a picture about the keyboard and preferably about the PCB, too
- `rules.mk`
- removed `MIDI_ENABLE`, `FAUXCLICKY_ENABLE` and `HD44780_ENABLE`
- modified `# Enable Bluetooth with the Adafruit EZ-Key HID` -> `# Enable Bluetooth`
- No `(-/+size)` comments related to enabling features
- Remove the list of alternate bootloaders if one has been specified
- No re-definitions of the default MCU parameters if same value, when compared to the equivalent MCU in [mcu_selection.mk](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/quantum/mcu_selection.mk)

- submitters can also have a "manufacturer-matching" keymap that mirrors existing functionality of the commercial product, if porting an existing board
Also, specific to ChibiOS:
- **Strong** preference to using existing ChibiOS board definitions.
- A lot of the time, an equivalent Nucleo board can be used with a different flash size or slightly different model in the same family
- Example: For an STM32L082KZ, given the similarity to an STM32L073RZ, you can use `BOARD = ST_NUCLEO64_L073RZ` in rules.mk

- QMK is migrating to not having custom board definitions if at all possible, due to the ongoing maintenance burden when upgrading ChibiOS
