| risk | unknown |
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
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.
