How to fetch from a local copy in a "non-colocated" repo?

I have one copy of jj where I simply cloned directly from GitHub using jj git clone, but I am having issues related to SSH keys and GH PATs (which I may also try to fix if I can get to the bottom of them!) preventing me from doing jj git push successfully there, so I did a normal Git clone and jj init --git-repo=. in that clone… but I cannot figure out how to pull from the original clone (which is not colocated) into the new clone (which is) to enable me to just use git push there. So: how do you fetch from a non-colocated repo?

You can git fetch from .jj/repo/store/git. It wouldn't preserve JJ metadata (like change id or rewrite history), though.

I think you can also turn the original repo into colocated repo by moving directories and rewriting .jj/repo/store/git_target file, but I don't remember the exact steps.

I thought that might be, from introspecting the layout; thanks for confirming!
