# Configuration ## What is a sheetwork project? A sheetwork project is a simple `.yml` file that contains some basic information about a collection of sheets you might want to import. It can be located anywhere on your disk but we advise making **one folder per project** ### Create your \`sheetwork\_project.yml\` file * First make a project folder, we'll call this one `my_sheetwork_project` and we'll put it in your home directory but feel free to put it anywhere that makes sense for you: ```bash # create a directory mkdir ~/my_sheetwork_project/ # create an empty sheetwork_project.yml file touch ~/my_sheetwork_project/sheetwork_project.yml ``` Now open this file in your editor of choice and configure it as follows: ```bash name: 'my_sheetwork_project' # the name can be anything of your choosing target_schema: 'sandbox' # optional default schema where you want your sheets to land # if true, tables will always be created, you can set it to False # if you would like to control this on every run (check out Running Sheetwork # for more info always_create: true ``` That's it! Next, we'll set up your connection to the google spreadsheet API --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
