#### Custom Commands

Tabnine-CLI lets you create global custom commands universal to all your projects OR local custom commands specific to a project.

Global commands are stored in `~/.tabnine/agent/commands/`.

Local (project-specific) commands are stored in that project’s folder at `<your-project-root>/.tabnine/agent/commands/`.
