HF Sync Test

A simple test Space to verify GitHub → Hugging Face synchronization workflow.

What it does

This Space contains a basic Gradio interface that greets users by name. It's used to test automated syncing from GitHub.

Usage

Simply enter your name and receive a friendly greeting!

Tech Stack

• Framework: Gradio
• Sync: Automated via GitHub Actions

Pattern filtering test case

The sync workflow runs with these inputs:

exclude: |
  notes/
  assets/*
include: |
  *.md
  *.py
  *.txt

Base exclusions are .git* at the root plus */.git/ and */.github/ at any depth. Each fixture below is a witness for exactly one rule, so a wrong outcome points at a single cause. The Hub file list should be exactly the five UPLOAD rows, plus the Hub's own .gitattributes, which huggingface_hub refuses to delete.

File	Expected	Witness for
README.md	UPLOAD	include *.md
app.py	UPLOAD	include *.py
requirements.txt	UPLOAD	include *.txt
keep/keepme.txt	UPLOAD	include *.txt matching below the root
docs/.gitnotes.md	UPLOAD	a nested .git-prefixed file is content, not metadata, so it must survive
.gitnotes.md	skip	base .git* at the root, despite include *.md
sub/.github/notes.md	skip	base */.github/, despite include *.md
sub/.github/workflows/noop.yml	skip	base */.github/
.gitignore	skip	base .git*
.github/workflows/sync-hf-space.yml	skip	base .git*
notes/scratch.md	skip	user exclude notes/ (trailing slash)
notes/todo.md	skip	user exclude notes/
assets/top.txt	skip	user exclude assets/*
assets/nested/deep.txt	skip	user exclude assets/* crossing a /
tmpfiles/artifact.tmp	skip	no include pattern matches it
docs/.gitkeep	skip	no include pattern matches it
docs/.gitattributes	skip	no include pattern matches it

docs/.gitnotes.md is the regression guard: it would be filtered out by a base pattern of */.git*, and must stay on the Hub under */.git/ + */.github/.

The */.git/ pattern has no fixture here. Git silently refuses to stage any path containing a .git component, so that rule only fires on a real submodule checked out by actions/checkout with submodules: true.
