hf buckets CLI accepts browser URLs
Introduced 2026-06-11 · score 0.96
HOW TO USE IT
When listing files from a bucket browser URL, pass the URL as the argument to `hf buckets ls`.
hf buckets ls https://huggingface.co/buckets/commoncrawl/commoncrawlWHY THIS HELPS
List a bucket from its browser URL while working with repository data.
