If you want to use TMK for your own keyboard project, you've got three options for embedding the [core][1].
The recommended option is [subtrees](#1-git-subtree).
After adding the embed you'll need to [modify the Makefile](#modifications-to-the-makefile) of your project to point to the core correctly.
## 1. git subtree
In order to set up the subtree in your project, first add the core repository as a remote:
```
git remote add -f core https://github.com/tmk/tmk_core
```
Then add the core as a subtree (directory) in your local repository:
```
git subtree add -P tmk_core core master --squash
```
And that's it!
When you want to update the subtree in your repository to match the master on [tmk_core][1], do this:
```
git subtree pull -P tmk_core core master --squash
```
## 2. git submodule
In order to set up the submodule in your project, first add a new submodule:
```
git submodule add https://github.com/tmk/tmk_core tmk_core
```
Then pull, sync and update the submodule:
```
git pull
git submodule sync --recursive
git submodule update --init --recursive
```
And that's it!
When you want to update the subtree in your repository to match the master on [tmk_core][1], follow the same steps as above.
If you want to clone a repository from GitHub that has submodule(s) in it, pass <kbd>--recursive</kbd> when cloning, like so:
`git clone --recursive https://github.com/<username>/<repository>`
## 3. Manually (without git)
*Note: This is not recommended in any way, but it's still possible.*
Download a zipped version of the [tmk_core][1] repository using this link:
<https://github.com/tmk/tmk_core/archive/master.zip>
Extract the zip in your project's directory, then rename the folder to <kbd>tmk_core</kbd>.
## Modifications to the *Makefile*
The one thing you have to make sure to change in the *Makefile* (compared to [tmk_keyboard](https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard) drivers' *[Makefile](https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/blob/master/keyboard/gh60/Makefile#L45)*) is the "TMK_DIR" variable, which needs to point to the embed directory:
```Makefile
TMK_DIR = ./tmk_core
```
