First, clone the qmk_firmware GitHub repo, and make a fork to maintain your custom keyboard firmware. This is what my remotes look like:

cd qmk_firmware
git remote -v

origin  git@github.com:kdheepak/qmk_firmware.git (fetch)
origin  git@github.com:kdheepak/qmk_firmware.git (push)
qmk git@github.com:qmk/qmk_firmware.git (fetch)
qmk git@github.com:qmk/qmk_firmware.git (push)

Then, compile the firmware using the following from the root of the repository:

make moonlander:kdheepak:flash

The keymaps are located here:

ls keyboards/moonlander/keymaps/kdheepak
