first steps with LLM: I can download a model (phi-2.Q2\_K.gguf) when using the browser interface. On another computer I want to download it with the CLI. The only option (for beginners) I found is using `git clone`.

```
git clone git@hf.co:phi-2.Q2_K.gguf 

```

but get the message `Repository not found`

What is wrong? I have opened an account with [huggingface.co](http://huggingface.co) and uploaded my ssh key for this computer.

I think you missed adding the proprietary. You should use this syntax:

```auto
git clone git@hf.co:<username>/<repository_name>

```
