The HfFileSystem class provides a pythonic file interface to the Hugging Face Hub based on fsspec.
HfFileSystem is based on fsspec, so it is compatible with most of the APIs that it offers. For more details, check out our guide and fsspecās API Reference.

Usage:
>>> from huggingface_hub import HfFileSystem
>>> fs = HfFileSystem()
>>> # List files
>>> fs.glob("my-username/my-model/*.bin")
['my-username/my-model/pytorch_model.bin']
>>> fs.ls("datasets/my-username/my-dataset", detail=False)
['datasets/my-username/my-dataset/.gitattributes', 'datasets/my-username/my-dataset/README.md', 'datasets/my-username/my-dataset/data.json']
>>> # Read/write files
>>> with fs.open("my-username/my-model/pytorch_model.bin") as f:
... data = f.read()
>>> with fs.open("my-username/my-model/pytorch_model.bin", "wb") as f:
... f.write(data)( path: str detail: bool = True refresh: bool = False revision: Optional = None **kwargs )
