Add rules

Put a .rb (or .erb) template file into src/json. (Or put a .json file into public/json directly.)
(Optional) Put extra description file into public/extra_descriptions.

(Optional) Update public/groups.json if you want to add your rules into specific category. Add the following entry into groups.json.

{
  "path": "json/your_awesome_configuration.json", // required
  "extra_description_path": "extra_descriptions/your_awesome_configuration.html" // optional
},

Run make command on Terminal.
If you've put .rb (or .erb) source file into src/json, formatted json file will be auto generated in the public/json/your_awesome_configuration.json.
```
make
```

Testing complex_modifications webpage on local server

public/index.html does not work properly if you open it via file://....
Launch a local web server by make server in terminal and open http://localhost:8000.
(You can quit the local web server by the control-c shortcut in terminal.)
Before run make server, make sure you've run make command to auto generate public/build/dist.json file.

Karabiner-Elements cannot import the json from the local web server due to the no https connection between local web server.
Please import the json via file copy. (See Test your own rules.)

Testing your own rules

Copy a json file to ~/.config/karabiner/assets/complex_modifications.

cp public/json/your_awesome_configuration.json ~/.config/karabiner/assets/complex_modifications

Import rules from Karabiner-Elements Preferences. Karabiner-Elements Preferences > Complex Modifications > Rules > Add rule
