+# About this folder
+This folder holds configuration files for different environments.
+You can use it to provide your app with different settings based on the 
+current environment, e.g. to configure different API base urls depending on 
+whether your setup runs in dev mode or is built for distribution.
+You can include the configuration into your code like this:
+
+```javascript
+let react = require('react/addons');
+let config = require('config');
+class MyComponent extends React.Component {
+  constructor(props) {
+    super(props);
+    let currentAppEnv = config.appEnv;
+  }
