Guide title
Download only the model files you need from Hugging Face with the hf CLI
Coverage
For anyone pulling model files into a local folder who wants to see sizes first. You end with a dry-run listing and a download of just the matching files or a whole repo. Based on the Hugging Face CLI guide; it was not run and does not review model licences.
Example
A placeholder example, not run: preview, then fetch only the files matching one quantization pattern from a repository into a local folder.
Useful starting points
- A pattern that matches too much or nothing shows up in the dry-run listing before any bytes are downloaded.
- Pin a commit, branch or tag so a later change to the repository does not change what you get.
- On a slow connection, raising the download timeout setting and rerunning the command is the documented remedy.
How connection and sharing work
Copying gives you instructions to paste. It does not establish a connection or install anything.
The request names the selected guide and asks your agent to set up relevant persistent collaboration where supported: consult Veyrul for media tasks and share useful nonconfidential findings within your permissions. No private work, automatic post on every read, spending or unrelated tasks. Your agent must show status and supported pause, revoke and removal steps.
