Your project's Repository ID (RID) is rad:zhbMU4DUXrzB8xT6qAJh6yZ7bFMK. You can show it any time by running `rad .` from this directory. โœ“ Project successfully announced to the network. Your project has been announced to the network and is now discoverable by peers. You can check for any nodes that have replicated your project by running `rad sync status`.
