I am linking footprints to my schematic for an esp32 led driver. My question is what footprint I should link to the 3 sets of connectors I have. My goal is to make it like a dev board where there are no real physical connectors, just a bunch of holes that you can put your own header pins through. What do you guys normally assign if you just want holes in the end? I included a pic of the schematic and also of a dev board with the holes I’m trying to copy.
These holes are normally on a 0.1" pitch.
There are 2.54mm pin header footprints in the libraries in various sizes. These will do what you want.

In pcbnew,
Place…Footprint…Mouse-click destination.
Connector_PinHeader_2.54mm
PinHeader_1x01_P2.54_Horizontal
for 0.1 inch header pins.
There is also a PinHeader_1x01_P2.54_Vertical, which is a different footprint. I’m not sure what the difference is from horizontal.
Note there are rows of pin headers going up to 1x40. There are also double rows, e.g. 2x01_P,2.54_Horizontal, etc.
