I followed the instructions shown immediately upon creating a huggingface space; however, I cannot push any changes I make to the cloned space git repo.
If I try I will get the following:
```auto

Counting objects: 100% (4/4), done.

! [remote rejected] main -> main (pre-receive hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://huggingface.co/spaces/warrenwang/minimal_hello'
```
I have tried searching this error, but I could not find anything helpful. If someone could point me in the right direction thank you.

have you tried `git push --force` ?

I am pushing this model from colab. How do I use this from the trainer.push\_to\_hub()?

I see, we don’t support the force push yet on `push_to_hub()`. If you’re on colab, can you found out the dir of your Trainer? then run this shell command on a cell. I hope after that, you might not have issues with `trainer.push_to_hub()`
```nohighlight
!cd trainer_folder && git push --force
```

I think for me my issue was using incorrect credentials for my huggingface account, as I was able to push successfully following the original instructions after I reset my account password.

I had the same error messages, turns out it was because I was using a “read” token instead of a “write” one.

hi @sushmanth ,
Can you please try to lfs track the `.onnx` then add push then?
```auto
git lfs track "*.onnx"
git add *.onnx
git commit -a
git push
```
Please let me know if that works . You can read more about it [here](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/repositories-getting-started#terminal) and [here](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/working-with-files/managing-large-files/configuring-git-large-file-storage)

Hi @Jignasha, you might need to clean up the git history, since you may have committed these `.dll` and `.libs` files before you started tracking them with LFS

cleared git history, did git lfs install, gilt lfs track \*.dll and \*.lib, git lfs track \*.pyd, not updating to spaces
issue is not resolving, taking a lot of time

hi @jignasha , you have offending files `.pyd` these are compiled python binaries, they don’t need to be on your commit, please add it to your `.gitignore` and cleanup the files from your history. I hope that works now
