I.e. for blimp · Datasets at Hugging Face , you can git clone https://huggingface.co/datasets/blimp but git clone git@huggingface.co:datasets/blimp.git and various alternatives don’t seem to work. Am I missing something?

Is it possible to clone a dataset/repo from huggingface over ssh?

Nope! We don’t support git over SSH right now, but if there’s demand for it we could definitely explore implementing it in the future.
