hf CLI tables support --no-truncate

Introduced 2026-05-21 · score 0.97

HOW TO USE IT

When scalar values are shortened in human-mode tables, run `hf models ls --no-truncate` to display them in full. For list- or dict-valued columns, use `--format json`.

WHY THIS HELPS

Inspect long scalar values in human-mode CLI table output.

BEFORE THIS CHANGE

Inspect scalar values in human-mode tables with their `...` shortening, or use the available output format for details.

REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS

• Version: v1.16.0
• --no-truncate: Global formatting flag; shows full scalar values in human tables. List- and dict-valued columns stay shortened.
• --format <value>: Global formatting flag. Accepted values: `auto`, `human`, `agent`, `json`, `quiet`; choose `json` to show list- and dict-valued columns in full. Docs do not state these options are mutually exclusive; they say mixing two output-mode flags raises a usage error.
• List- and dict-valued columns remain shortened in human mode because they can be arbitrarily long; use `--format json` for those.
