Hi guys, I am new to huggingface, I want to show my applications through simply UI, but I don’t want the source code to be shared, how could I hide the “files and versions” sheet, just keep the APP and community? thank you

I have spent hours trying to find a solution for this too and hope to get an answer. The solutions posted were mainly about secrets for API keys, Git LFS for large files, and GitHub actions. It should be simple to hide the source code of app functions. 😅

@osanseviero I saw that you’re thankfully replying to many related issues. Could you please help with this?

I built my app in streamlit. Here is my app attached as image. If you notice there is a link icon on the title of this app. If you click the link icon, you will give your unique link that can be publicly shared without files / codes. Hope this helps. Thanks.
