## How to adopt repositories from disk
- Add your (bare) repositories to the correct spot for your configuration (`repository.ROOT`), ensuring they are in the correct layout `<REPO_ROOT>/[user]/[repo].git`.
- **Note:** the directory names must be lowercase.
- You can also check `<ROOT_URL>/admin/config` for the repository root path.
- Ensure that the user/org exists that you want to adopt repositories for.
- As an admin, go to `<ROOT_URL>/admin/repos/unadopted` and search.
- Users can also be given similar permissions via config [`ALLOW_ADOPTION_OF_UNADOPTED_REPOSITORIES`]({{< relref "doc/advanced/config-cheat-sheet.en-us.md#repository" >}}).
- If the above steps are done correctly, you should be able to select repositories to adopt.
- If no repositories are found, enable [debug logging]({{< relref "doc/advanced/config-cheat-sheet.en-us.md#repository" >}}) to check for any specific errors.
