Summary

1. Switched GitHub remote from HTTPS to SSH

  • Changed origin from https://github.com/lzwjava/zz.git to git@github.com:lzwjava/zz.git
  • Pulled with git pull --rebase — remote had no new commits, so it was a no-op
  • GitHub repo lzwjava/zz is archived (read-only) — this is intentional, stays as-is

2. Authenticated with Hugging Face

  • huggingface-cli is deprecated → migrated to hf CLI
  • Logged in with hf auth login --token hf_...
  • Token saved to ~/.cache/huggingface/token

3. Set up HF remote

  • Initially added HF remote pointing to datasets/lzwjava/zz — wrong (repo not found, and datasets was incorrect type)
  • Corrected to models repo: https://huggingface.co/lzwjava/zz
  • Added as remote named hf

4. Resolved diverged histories

  • HF repo had 3 independent commits (created via HF web UI/upload):
    • 3dbedad initial commit
    • 0980be1 Upload folder using huggingface_hub
    • 3894b4d Update README
  • Local had completely different history (unrelated root commits)
  • Force-pushed local main (8977f51) to HF, overwriting HF’s old commits

Current state

origin  → git@github.com:lzwjava/zz.git  (archived, read-only)
hf      → https://huggingface.co/lzwjava/zz  (active, synced)

Local branch main is in sync with HF. Future workflow: git push hf main to sync.
