Companion CLIs
Four CLIs commonly needed alongside Runpod. Each has its own credentials + command reference in reference/ — plus a one-time <cli>-setup.md for install (only opened if the CLI isn't installed). Load only the one the task needs, not all four.
| CLI | Use it to | Full reference |
|---|---|---|
hf (HuggingFace) |
Download models from the Hub to cache/bake into images | reference/huggingface.md |
gh (GitHub) |
Manage worker repos + cut releases (Hub indexes releases) | reference/github.md |
docker |
Build/validate/push images to Docker Hub for Runpod to pull | reference/docker.md |
aws (S3) |
Read/write network-volume storage over Runpod's S3 API | reference/aws.md |
Each requires credentials before use. Read the per-tool reference for auth steps and commands; install is a separate one-time <cli>-setup.md.
These CLIs are usually one step inside a larger job. For the whole job the verified example is in runpod/golden-paths/README.md — baking vs mounting a model (25), building a minimal image (22), or moving data to a network volume (07).
