+# Project Configuration
+
+# `.tabnine` file
+
+Projects are folders containing a VCS root (such as a `.git` directory or directories containing `.tabnine_root`).
+
+Projects containing a file called `.tabnine` in their root can have special configurations applied to them.
+
+## Structure
+
+```
+project-root/
+├── .git
+└── .tabnine <<<<< this configuration file
+└── ...
+```
+
+
+## .tabnine format
+The `.tabnine` file is formatted using `JSON` containing the following fields:
+
+### Fields
+
+| field                 | type       | default value (if not set)     | description                                                                                                                                                                                            | Notes                                                                                                |

+| `teamLearningEnabled` | `boolean`  | `true`                         | relevant for users which are part of a team and want to disable team training on this project. `true` - team learning is enabled for this project  `false` team learning is disabled for this project  |                                                                                                      |
+| `teamLearningIgnore`  | `[string]` | `[]` | an `Array` of `String` file path masks to ignore for team learning                                                                                                           | **Note** : Entries are identical in format to those you would have as part of a  `.gitignore`  file. |
+|                       |            |                                |                                                                                                                                                                                                        |                                                                                                      |

+### Examples
+*ignore everything in my secrets and passwords files*
+```
+{
+    "teamLearningEnabled": true,
+    "teamLearningIgnore" : ["secrets.txt", "passwords.txt"]
+}
+```
+*ignore everything under tests folder*
+(notice that `teamLearningEnabled` is implicitly `true` since field is omitted)
+
+```
+{
+    "teamLearningIgnore" : ["src/tests", "build/tests"]
+}
+```
+
+*don't collect data for this project*
+```
+{
+    "teamLearningEnabled" : false
+}
+```
+**equivalent to a catch all mask**
+```
+{
+    "teamLearningEnabled" : true,
+    "teamLearningIgnore" : ["*"]
+
+}
+```
