Hugging Face CLI

When to Use

Use this skill when you need hugging Face Hub CLI (hf) for downloading, uploading, and managing models, datasets, spaces, buckets, repos, papers, jobs, and more on the Hugging Face Hub. Use when: handling authentication; managing local cache; managing Hugging Face Buckets; running or scheduling jobs on Hugging...

Install by downloading the installer script first, reviewing it, and then running it locally: tmpdir="$(mktemp -d)" && trap 'rm -rf "$tmpdir"' EXIT && curl -LsSf https://hf.co/cli/install.sh -o "$tmpdir/hf-install.sh" && less "$tmpdir/hf-install.sh" && bash "$tmpdir/hf-install.sh"

The Hugging Face Hub CLI tool hf is available. IMPORTANT: The hf command replaces the deprecated huggingface-cli command.

Use hf --help to view available functions. Note that auth commands are now all under hf auth e.g. hf auth whoami.
