+## 🛠️ **Project Setup**
+
+This guide will walk you through configuring MySQL as your database using a secure `.cnf` file for sensitive credentials.
+
+### **Step 1: Add MySQL Configuration File**
+
+- Create a `.cnf` file that contains the necessary database connection information. 
+
+#### **Sample `my.cnf` File Format**:
+
+```ini
+[client]
 database = DB_NAME
 host = localhost
 user = DB_USER
 password = DB_PASSWORD
-default-character-set = utf8</code>
+default-character-set = utf8
+```
+
+> ⚠️ **Note:** Never hardcode personal or sensitive information in your project's codebase. Use the `.cnf` file to protect your credentials.
+
+---
 
-3) <b>update</b> the <b>settings.py</b> with <b>path</b> to .cnf file:
+### **Step 2: Update `settings.py` to Include `.cnf` File**
 
-<code>DATABASES = {
+In your Django project's `settings.py`, update the `DATABASES` configuration to use the `.cnf` file for database credentials:
+
+```python
+DATABASES = {
     'default': {
         'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
         'OPTIONS': {
             'read_default_file': '/path/to/my.cnf',
         },
     }
-}</code>
+}
+```
+
+- Replace `/path/to/my.cnf` with the actual file path to your `.cnf` file.
