Found by a static scan of the stored text; nothing is run. “None found” is not a guarantee, so read what you install before you run it.

  • Only the main file is read; other files in the folder are not scanned
Install: `curl -LsSf https://hf.co/cli/install.sh | bash -s`.

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 v2.4.0`. Run `hf skills add --force` to regenerate.

## Commands

- `hf cp SRC` — Copy files between local paths, repositories, and buckets. `[--format [auto|human|agent|json|quiet]]`
- `hf download REPO_ID` — Download files from the Hub. `[--type [model|dataset|space|kernel] --revision TEXT --include TEXT --exclude TEXT --cache-dir TEXT --local-dir TEXT --force-download --dry-run --max-workers INTEGER --format [auto|human|agent|json|quiet]]`
- `hf env` — Print information about the environment. `[--format [auto|human|agent|json|quiet]]`
- `hf sync` — Sync files between local directory and a bucket. `[--delete --ignore-times --ignore-sizes --plan TEXT --apply TEXT --dry-run --include TEXT --exclude TEXT --filter-from TEXT --existing --ignore-existing --verbose --format [auto|human|agent|json|quiet]]`
