1. Hub Python SDK

Learning Resources

The huggingface_hub library is the primary SDK for working programmatically with the Hugging Face Hub. Here are the three main resources needed to explore it:

• Conceptual guides - high-level explainers of the Hub features.
• API reference - huggingface_hub package classes and methods.
• How-to guides - practical guides for achieving core tasks

Hands-on Labs

Get Started With Notebooks

We'll use Jupyter Notebooks for hands-on labs. It gives us built-in documentation and reproducible code snippets for reuse. To get started with a lab:

• Launch the dev container on your fork of the repo
• Visit the labs/01-huggingface folder in the VS Code file explorer
• Look for the named lab notebook below and click it to open notebook
• Click "Select Kernel" and pick the default Python environment shown
• Click "Clear Outputs" then "Run All" to execute the notebook end-to-end.
