+**Parallel Compilation**:
+
+It is possible to speed up compilation by adding the `-j`/`--parallel` flag.
+```
+qmk compile -j <num_jobs> -kb <keyboard_name>
+```
+The `num_jobs` argument determines the maximum number of jobs that can be used. Setting it to zero will enable parallel compilation without limiting the maximum number of jobs.

This command is similar to `qmk compile`, but can also target a bootloader. The bootloader is optional, and is set to `:flash` by default. To specify a different bootloader, use `-bl <bootloader>`. Visit the [Flashing Firmware](flashing.md) guide for more details of the available bootloaders.
