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) -
