I have done this multiple times in past successfully, however, as of last 2 days I am having issues, following exact same steps, which I am using on same machine, while uploading artifacts from SOME\_REPO git throws me error file larger than 10MB. Here are the steps I am following: ```auto python -m pip install huggingface_hub huggingface-cli login git clone https://huggingface.co/psmathur/SOME_REPO cd SOME_REPO git lfs install huggingface-cli lfs-enable-largefiles . cd .. cp -r LOCAL_REPO/checkpoint SOME_REPO cd SOME_REPO git add . git config --global user.email "MY_EMAIL@gmail.com" git config --global user.name "MY_NAME" git commit -m "Initial Commit" git push ``` This throws me error error file larger then 10MB Here is the `huggingface-cli env ` output: ```auto - huggingface_hub version: 0.16.4 - Platform: Linux-5.15.0-1042-azure-x86_64-with-glibc2.31 - Python version: 3.10.0 - Running in iPython ?: No - Running in notebook ?: No - Running in Google Colab ?: No - Token path ?: /home/azureuser/.cache/huggingface/token - Has saved token ?: True - Who am I ?: psmathur - Configured git credential helpers: store - FastAI: N/A - Tensorflow: N/A - Torch: 2.0.1 - Jinja2: 3.1.2 - Graphviz: N/A - Pydot: N/A - Pillow: N/A - hf_transfer: N/A - gradio: N/A - tensorboard: N/A - numpy: 1.25.2 - pydantic: N/A - aiohttp: 3.8.5 - ENDPOINT: https://huggingface.co - HUGGINGFACE_HUB_CACHE: /home/azureuser/.cache/huggingface/hub - HUGGINGFACE_ASSETS_CACHE: /home/azureuser/.cache/huggingface/assets - HF_TOKEN_PATH: /home/azureuser/.cache/huggingface/token - HF_HUB_OFFLINE: False - HF_HUB_DISABLE_TELEMETRY: False - HF_HUB_DISABLE_PROGRESS_BARS: None - HF_HUB_DISABLE_SYMLINKS_WARNING: False - HF_HUB_DISABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_WARNING: False - HF_HUB_DISABLE_IMPLICIT_TOKEN: False - HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER: False ``` Any suggestion would be highly appreciated. ---

I’m having the same issue. ```auto ❯ git lfs install --force Updated Git hooks. Git LFS initialized. ❯ git push --recurse-submodules=no hf main -f Enumerating objects: 18207, done.

Here’s my `huggingface-cli env`, which I don’t think really matters: ```auto ❯ huggingface-cli env /Users/trusktr/Library/Python/3.9/lib/python/site-packages/urllib3/ __init__.py:35: NotOpenSSLWarning: urllib3 v2 only supports OpenSSL 1.1.1+, currently the 'ssl' module is compiled with 'LibreSSL 2.8.3'.

From the directory structure, your environment is probably Windows. In the case of Windows, git-lfs will not work properly unless **the latest version of git itself** is also installed in addition to git-lfs. Of course, there is also the possibility of more complex problems. > **[Git Large File Storage](https://git-lfs.com/)** > > Git Large File Storage (LFS) replaces large files such as audio samples, videos, datasets, and graphics with text pointers inside Git, while storing the file contents on a remote server like GitHub.com or GitHub Enterprise.

Oh… I mistook.😅 Macs are almost all UNIX now, so they shouldn’t be that different from Linux… > **[Installing Git Large File Storage - GitHub Docs](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/working-with-files/managing-large-files/installing-git-large-file-storage?platform=mac)** > > In order to use Git LFS, you'll need to download and install a new program that's separate from Git. ---

Yeah, I think its just that migrating my history to Git LFS seems daunting. I’m a newb, so I didn’t realize that `git lfs install` was not enough, now I need to migrate my repo which seems like a big hassle. It would be sweet if HuggingFace can [match GitHub file size](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/feature-request-match-github-file-size-limits/131646), so that at least migrating from GitHub will be super easy. ---
