I’ve tried the method in this thread , or generating GPG Keys and put it into huggingface, or using:

huggingface-cli login

Still do NOT work.

Hello! Hmm, that’s strange! Did you run git lfs install before adding and committing your files?

3

Yes, The results are:

$ git lfs install
Updated git hooks.
Git LFS initialized.
4

Sweet! And before adding and committing you ran git lfs track <EXTENSION> for any larger files?

You can try running git lfs ls-files to see if all the files that you’re trying to track have actually been added with Git LFS. Generally anything large-ish (checkpoint files, images, etc.) should be tracked. If they’re not, then you can undo the commit, track the files, commit and push again.

I had the same errors. Eventually I figured out that it was because I was using a “read” token instead of a “write” one.

It works, thanks a lot!

Anyone else still seeing this error? I’m just starting with a basic repo with only tiny files. I saw @sswam’s post and that totally made sense. I was in fact using a READ token. But I have since created a WRITE token and have confirmed (multiple times) that that token is the one I’m using as my huggingface-cli login credentials, but I’m still seeing this error.

Also facing this issue, I setup my GPG key and am using a WRITE token after running huggingface-cli login but still getting:
