6. Compile your firmware by running `make clean` followed by `make KEYMAP=your_name`. Note that you must omit the `keymap_` prefix for your filename in this command -- for example, `make KEYMAP=german`. This will result in a hex file, which will always be called `ergodox_ez.hex`, regardless of your keymap name.
