The config file

When you provide a file at tina/config.{ts,tsx,js,jsx} that exports a defineConfig function, Tina will automatically generate TinaCMS as a static asset. Note that it must be the default export of this file.

The location for the config file was previously at .tina/config.{ts,tsx,js,jsx}
