# repr init

> Initialize repr and scan for repositories

The `init` command is the entry point for using repr. It scans a directory for git repositories and sets up the local configuration.

## Usage

```bash theme={null}
repr init [PATH]
```

## Arguments

| Argument | Type | Description                                              |
| -------- | ---- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| `PATH`   | Path | Directory to scan. Defaults to `~/code` if not provided. |

## Examples

Scan your home code directory:

```bash theme={null}
repr init ~/code
```

Scan current directory:

```bash theme={null}
repr init .
```

## Behavior

1. **Scans** the target directory recursively for `.git` folders.
2. **Filters** out archived or empty repositories.
3. **Prompts** you to confirm which repositories to track.
4. **Saves** the configuration to `~/.repr/config.json`.
