-**Usage**:
-
-```
-qmk console [-d <pid>:<vid>[:<index>]] [-l] [-n] [-t] [-w <seconds>]
-```
-
-**Examples**:
-
-Connect to all available keyboards and show their console messages:
-
-```
-qmk console
-```
-
-List all devices:
-
-```
-qmk console -l
-```
-
-Show only messages from clueboard/66/rev3 keyboards:

-```
-qmk console -d C1ED:2370
-```
-
-Show only messages from the second clueboard/66/rev3:
-
-```
-qmk console -d C1ED:2370:2
-```
-
-Show timestamps and VID:PID instead of names:
-
-```
-qmk console -n -t

-
-Disable bootloader messages:
-
-```
-qmk console --no-bootloaders

-# Lokale CLI
-
-Wenn Du die globale CLI nicht verwenden möchtest, beinhaltet `qmk_firmware` auch eine lokale CLI. Du kannst sie hier finden: `qmk_firmware/bin/qmk`. Du kannst den `qmk`-Befehl aus irgendeinem Datei-Verzeichnis ausführen und es wird immer auf dieser Kopie von `qmk_firmware` arbeiten.

-## Einschränkungen der lokalen CLI
-
-Hier ein Vergleich mit der globalen CLI:
-
-* Die lokale CLI unterstützt kein `qmk setup` oder `qmk clone`.
-* Die lokale CLI arbeitet immer innerhalb der selben `qmk_firmware`-Verzeichnisstruktur, auch wenn Du mehrere Repositories geklont hast.
-* Die lokale CLI läuft nicht in einer virtualenv. Daher ist es möglich, dass Abhängigkeiten (dependencies) miteinander in Konflikt kommen/stehen.

-* La CLI locale ne supporte pas `qmk setup` ou `qmk clone`
-* La CLI locale n'opère pas sur le même arbre `qmk_firmware`, même si vous avez plusieurs dépôts clonés.

 Many of the settings written in the `rules.mk` file are interpreted by `common_features.mk`, which sets the necessary source files and compiler options.
 
+The `post_rules.mk` file can interpret `features` of a keyboard-level before `common_features.mk`.  For example, when your designed keyboard has the option to implement backlighting or underglow using rgblight.c, writing the following in the `post_rules.mk` makes it easier for the user to configure the `rules.mk`.
