+Let's clone a regular repository via plain Git:
+```
+$ git clone --bare $URL heartwood
+$ cd heartwood
+$ git rev-parse HEAD
+f2de534b5e81d7c6e2dcaf58c3dd91573c0a0354
+```
+
+We can see it's not a Radicle working copy:
+``` (fail)
+$ 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 --existing rad:z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji
+✓ Initialized existing repository rad:z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji in [..]/heartwood/..
+```
+
+We can confirm that the working copy is initialized:
+```
+$ rad .
+rad:z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji
+$ git remote show rad
+* remote rad
+  Fetch URL: rad://z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji
+  Push  URL: rad://z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji/z6MknSLrJoTcukLrE435hVNQT4JUhbvWLX4kUzqkEStBU8Vi
+  HEAD branch: (unknown)
+  Remote branch:
+    master new (next fetch will store in remotes/rad)
+  Local ref configured for 'git push':
+    master pushes to master (up to date)
+```
