Hugging Face Repository Test Script

Overview

This script is designed to:

• Test the connection to Hugging Face by creating a repository.
• Upload a test file to the created repository.

Unique repository and file names are generated using the current date and time to avoid conflicts with existing repositories or files.

Features

• Dynamic Repository Creation: Prompts for a base repository name and appends the current date and time to ensure uniqueness.
• Test File Upload: Generates and uploads a simple text file with a timestamped name to the created repository.
• Error Handling: Manages scenarios where repository creation fails, such as if the repository already exists.

Usage

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• The huggingface_hub package

Install the required package using pip:

pip install huggingface_hub

Running the Script

1. Clone the Repository:

git clone https://github.com/DigitEgal/HF_Connection-Test/
cd HF_Connection-Test

2. Run the Script:

python test_hf.py

• Enter your Hugging Face token.
• Enter a base repository name (e.g., yourusername/test_repo).

3. Check the Output:

The script creates a new repository on Hugging Face with a name that includes the current date and time. A test file is also uploaded to this repository.

Example Output

Please enter your Hugging Face token: [your_token]
Please enter your repository name (e.g., 'username/repo_name'): yourusername/test_repo
Repository yourusername/test_repo_20240813_154530 created successfully at https://huggingface.co/yourusername/test_repo_20240813_154530.
Successfully connected to Hugging Face and uploaded test_20240813_154530.txt to yourusername/test_repo_20240813_154530.

Customization

• Repository Name: Modify base_repo_name to change the default repository name.
• Test File Content: Adjust the f.write() line in the script to change the content of the test file.

Known Issues

• Repository Name Conflicts: The script is designed to avoid conflicts by appending a timestamp, but running the script multiple times within the same second might cause a conflict.
