Let’s clone a regular repository via plain Git:

$ git clone $URL heartwood
$ cd heartwood
$ git rev-parse HEAD
f2de534b5e81d7c6e2dcaf58c3dd91573c0a0354

We can see it’s not a Radicle working copy:

$ rad .
✗ Error: Current directory is not a Radicle repository

Let’s pick an existing repository:

$ rad inspect rad:z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji
rad:z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji

And initialize this working copy as that existing repository:

$ rad init --setup-signing --existing rad:z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji
