Description

I have a couple of handwired keyboards. I like the idea of building qmk with github userspace and a data driven keyboard configuration.

From my understanding the keymap.json could include a complete keyboard configuration, but it is not treated as such. The qmk compile command still needs the keyboard configuration folder.

My current approach is to create a info.json use qmk import-keyboard to create a keyboard directory and then compile the keyboard with an keymap.json.

Is there a better way to do it? Would you be open for a enhancement to somehow specify a data driven keyboard config? I might be able to implement needed changes in qmk_cli
