To use git lfs and huggingface hub:

Do once:

(1) install git lfs on machine
(2) pip install --upgrade huggingface_hub

Then:

(1) huggingface-cli login

Then:

(1) git lfs install
(2) git clone "https://huggingface.co/datasets/refugee-law-lab/canadian-legal-data"
(3) cd into repo

For specific new big files tracking using lfs (i.e. new / moved files)

(1) git lfs track "d:/xxx/xxx/bigfile.parquet"
(2) if over 5gb: huggingface-cli lfs-enable-largefiles .

When ready to push:

(1) git add .
(2) git commit -m "commit message here"
(3) git push

Notes:

- If making a new dataset, easiest to make first on huggingface (make sure to make dataset not model)

- If you add files in parquet, json, etc, huggingface will do everything automatically (make sure to include "train" in the file names)

- Note that the url includes /datasets/ (forgot that and it was confusing)
