  4. Track Large Files (if necessary):

    • If you are uploading large files (e.g., model weights), track them using Git LFS:

    git lfs track "*.pt" "*.bin" # example file types

  5. Add Files:

    git add .

  6. Commit Changes:

git remote add origin https://huggingface.co/OceanCV/your-repo-name

  9. Push Files to Hugging Face:

    git push origin main

24.3. Best Practices for Uploading#

  • Include a Model Card: Always include a README.md file (model card) that describes your model, its intended use, limitations, and other relevant information.

  • Use Descriptive File Names: Use clear and descriptive file names to help others understand the contents of your repository.

  • Organize Files: Organize your files into logical directories to make it easier for others to navigate your repository.

  • Version Control: Use Git for version control to track changes to your files and collaborate effectively.

By following these steps, you can effectively join the OceanCV Hugging Face organization and upload your models, datasets, or demos for the community to use.
