# Reverse-engineer a repository

> Turn local Git history and repository structure into a build-ready prompt.

```bash theme={null}
arka repo_reverse
arka repo_reverse ./project --commits 50 --output rebuild-prompt.md
arka "reverse engineer this repository"
```

Arka combines tracked files and recent Git evolution into an inspectable prompt
for rebuilding or onboarding to a codebase. It runs locally and does not upload
the repository.
