+## Importing a Component using path relative to src (Absolute path)
+
+**NOTE**: Make sure to remove `.env` from your .gitignore in the project root
+
+Create a file called `.env` in the root of the project, then add the following:
+
+```
+NODE_PATH=src
+```
+
+This will allows any component to be imported using its path relative to `src`, for example:
+
+```js
+import Button from './components/Button';
+```
+
+is now:
+
+
+```js
+import Button from 'components/Button';
+```
+
+This allows uniform import path accross different component, and eliminate the following "hypothetical" situation:
+
+```js
+import Utils from '../../../Utils';
+```
