IntelliJ / Android Studio - how to activate proguard to obfuscate code - step by step?

Question

I was searching everywhere for answer, but did not find any.

The main problem is that eveyone says about proguard configuration file, but there is none, IntelliJ / Android Studio does not generate such a file, there is none in SDK dir, so how do I generate valid configuration file for proguard obfuscation?
