# Hugging Face CLI

Move models, datasets and files to and from the Hub

## What this does

You keep models and datasets on Hugging Face, and getting them up or down means remembering command after command. This handles those trips for you: pulling things down, pushing files up, making a new repo, tidying the cache on your machine, and signing in. Reach for it when you would otherwise be looking up CLI flags.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Download a model or dataset
- Upload files to a Hub repository
- Create a new repo

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Hugging Face CLI

Hugging Face Hub work tends to be a lot of small errands: fetch a model, grab a dataset, pull down a space, put some files back, spin up a repo you forgot to create. This skill runs those errands through the hf command line so you can say what you want rather than how to type it.

It also covers the parts around the transfers - signing in, creating repositories, and managing the cache that builds up locally. And when the work needs to happen somewhere other than your laptop, it can run compute jobs on Hugging Face infrastructure.

## Questions

### Is Hugging Face CLI safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Hugging Face CLI and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit 386cfc3647c6, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/hugging-face-cli.

### How do I install Hugging Face CLI?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/hugging-face-cli on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/patchy631/ai-engineering-hub/tree/386cfc3647c63987f10345cf38ee522373f5dfa0/hugging-face-skills/skills/hugging-face-cli.
