-## 5. Configure Your Build Environment (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
-
-You can also set your default keymap name. Most people use their GitHub username here, and we recommend that you do too.
-
-    qmk config user.keymap=<github_username>
-
-The keyboard can now be compiled without arguments using the following command after creating your keymap in the next section:
-
-    qmk compile
-
 # Creating Your Keymap
 
 You are now ready to create your own personal keymap! Move on to [Building Your First Firmware](newbs_building_firmware.md) for that.
