## Usage

```bash theme={null}
init [OPTIONS]
```

## Description

Initialize or update W\&B configuration for the current directory.

Set a project and entity, create local W\&B settings, and
prepare the directory for experiment tracking.

For example, set up W\&B for the current directory with guided prompts
for team and project selection:

```bash theme={null}
wandb init
```

To set the default project to "foobar" and the default entity to "team-awesome" without prompts:

```bash theme={null}
wandb init --project foobar --entity team-awesome
```

To set the W\&B mode to offline:

```bash theme={null}
wandb init --mode offline
```

To reset existing W\&B configuration for the current directory:

```bash theme={null}
wandb init --reset
```
