# gel project

Gel provides a way to quickly setup a project. This way the project directory gets associated with a specific Gel instance and thus makes it the default instance to connect to. This is done by creating an [gel.toml](https://docs.geldata.com/reference/using/projects.md#ref-reference-gel-toml) file in the project directory.
