In Visual Studio, EditorConfig file settings take precedence over the various global text editor settings available under **Tools** > **Options** > **Text Editor** > **C/C++** > **Code Style**. You can use an EditorConfig file to tailor each codebase to use text editor settings that are specific to that project.

You can manually populate an EditorConfig file, or automatically generate it based on the code style settings you've chosen in Visual Studio. To create a new `.editorconfig` file based on your current Visual Studio settings, from the Visual Studio main menu choose **Tools** > **Options** > **Text Editor** > **C/C++** > **General**. Then choose **Generate .editorconfig file from settings**. Choose the folder where your project is and then choose **Select Folder** to save the `.editorconfig` file.

When you use an EditorConfig file, you can still continue to set your own personal editor preferences in the Visual Studio text editor. These text editor settings apply whenever you're working in a codebase without an EditorConfig file, or when the EditorConfig file doesn't override a particular setting. An example of such a preference is whether to use tabs or spaces for the code indent style.
