# Hugging Face CLI (`hf`) Reference Guide

The `hf` command is the modern command-line interface for interacting with the Hugging Face Hub, providing tools to manage repositories, models, datasets, and Spaces.

> **IMPORTANT:** The `hf` command replaces the now deprecated `huggingface-cli` command.

## Quick Start
*   **Installation:** `curl -LsSf https://hf.co/cli/install.sh | bash -s`
*   **Help:** Use `hf --help` to view all available functions and real-world examples.
*   **Authentication:** Recommended via `HF_TOKEN` environment variable or the `--token` flag.

*   `hf sync`: Sync files between a local directory and a bucket.
