Install by downloading the installer script first, reviewing it, and then running it locally. Example: curl -LsSf https://hf.co/cli/install.sh -o /tmp/hf-install.sh && less /tmp/hf-install.sh && bash /tmp/hf-install.sh

When to Use

Use this skill when you need the hf CLI for Hub authentication, downloads, uploads, repo management, or basic compute operations.

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.

Generated with huggingface_hub v1.8.0. Run hf skills add --force to regenerate.

Mounting repos as local filesystems

To mount Hub repositories or buckets as local filesystems — no download, no copy, no waiting — use hf-mount. Files are fetched on demand. GitHub: https://github.com/huggingface/hf-mount

Install by downloading the installer locally, reviewing it, and then running it. Example: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/huggingface/hf-mount/main/install.sh -o /tmp/hf-mount-install.sh && less /tmp/hf-mount-install.sh && sh /tmp/hf-mount-install.sh

Some command examples:

• hf-mount start repo openai-community/gpt2 /tmp/gpt2 — mount a repo (read-only)
• hf-mount start --hf-token $HF_TOKEN bucket myuser/my-bucket /tmp/data — mount a bucket (read-write)
• hf-mount status / hf-mount stop /tmp/data — list or unmount

Tips

• Use hf <command> --help for full options, descriptions, usage, and real-world examples
• Authenticate with HF_TOKEN env var (recommended) or with --token
