# Sharing settings

You can share these settings with your teammates too!

Create an empty file in .codeparrot/settings.json in the root of your project (i.e. your VSCode workspace).

Now, whenever you save the Code generation settings, this file will be filled in. And, if this file is present, settings will be loaded from it!

This means, you can create the file by saving the settings, and share it with anyone- as a file, or check it into git. Once they have the file, they just open CodeParrot and the settings will be loaded.

Please note:

1. When the setting is saved, all contents of the file are overwritten
2. If there is some error reading the file, then saved settings are loaded instead.
3. Use the "+ start a new thread" button to reload the settings. This is useful if the file was created/edited recently
