To display a repository's identifier, or RID, you may use the rad inspect command from inside a working copy:

$ rad inspect
rad:z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji

As a shorthand, you can also simply use rad .:

$ rad .
rad:z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji

It's also possible to display all of the repository's git references:

$ rad inspect --refs
.
`-- z6MknSLrJoTcukLrE435hVNQT4JUhbvWLX4kUzqkEStBU8Vi
    `-- refs
        |-- heads
        |   `-- master
        `-- rad
            |-- id
            `-- sigrefs

Or display the repository identity's payload:

$ rad inspect --payload
{
  "xyz.radicle.project": {
    "defaultBranch": "master",
    "description": "Radicle Heartwood Protocol & Stack",
    "name": "heartwood"
  }
}

Finally, the --history flag allows you to examine the identity document's history:

$ rad inspect --history
commit 175267b8910895ba87760313af254c2900743912

The identity document is the metadata associated with a repository, that is only changeable by delegates.
