2021-05-07Update FreeBSD install method (#12815)Mateusz Piotrowski
The easiest way to install QMK CLI and all the necessary dependencies on FreeBSD is to use the packages from the official FreeBSD Ports Collection. This is possible since QMK CLI has been added to the Ports Collection: https://www.freshports.org/sysutils/py-qmk/
2021-04-11Update github instruction link in newbs_getting_started.md (#12510)Hawley Waldman

2020-06-11Really fix Ubuntu/Debian setup when $PATH contains spaces (#9370)Sergey Vlasov
PR #9307 fixed the immediately visible problem (the command that was added to $HOME/.bashrc was incorrect because of missing quotes around paths with spaces). However, the modified command is still wrong - it captures the value of $PATH at the setup time, and the resulting command written out to $HOME/.bashrc will overwrite $PATH with that captured value, ignoring any changes in the environment. This may be especially important for WSL, where the initial value of $PATH in Linux includes everything which has been added to %PATH% on the Windows side; after adding that command to $HOME/.bashrc the WSL environment will no longer pick up any changes made by newly installed Windows software. Instead of that, use single quotes around the command, so that the environment variables are not expanded at the setup time, and the command that is added to $HOME/.bashrc becomes exactly this: PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" This command will use the $HOME and $PATH environment variable values at the time the command is executed, not at the time the QMK setup is performed, so any further updates to $PATH are taken into account. Double quotes also ensure that the command is safe even if the values of those environment variables contain spaces.

Using just qmk setup <github_username> would fail w/ "Could not find repo github.com/<username>, whereas the repo is actually after another slash after the user name. Can consider changing code to add the default forked repo name if slash is not detected in the arg.
