Reproducible Workflow

Use history when you want to recreate a stack, compare generated output, or share a known-good scaffold command with another developer.

  1. Run history.
  2. Copy the reproducible command for the stack you want.
  3. Re-run it with a new project name or adjusted flags.

History is stored locally under your user directory and does not affect generated project files.
