The environment variable `HF_TOKEN` can also be used to authenticate yourself. This is especially useful in a Space where you can set `HF_TOKEN` as a [Space secret](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/spaces-overview#managing-secrets).

**NEW:** Google Colaboratory lets you define [private keys](https://twitter.com/GoogleColab/status/1719798406195867814) for your notebooks. Define a `HF_TOKEN` secret to be automatically authenticated!
