In a move to bring Hugging Face closer to an idealized GitHub for machine learning, they've added in a new community tab with features that should feel familiar to any user familiar with git workflows. The community tab is featured on all repository types, and any member of the community can use it to provide feedback and collaborate on projects, even if they're outside the core development team.
What's new with the community tab?
The community tab features two methods of interaction: discussions and pull requests.
The discussion tab allows users from the community to, well, discuss the projects. This could take the form of issue reports, update posts, or anything else native to thread-based discussion boards.
Pull requests are a little different, allowing you to propose changes or additions to the project's files directly. Pull requests are handled a little differently from traditional git pull requests, as it does not use forks, but a custom branch-type system stored directly in the source repo.
While it's starting to feel a lot more like GitHub, Hugging Face is aiming to provide an ML-focused and overall simplified type of git experience.
