Hello, thanks for the PR, could you rebase your PR from master instead of the update/hf branch?

I just want to double-check whether what I'm doing now is also okay: I will cherry-pick the commits I made to the branch and add them to master. Should I then create a new PR that originates from master?

Sorry for the hassle, I haven't contributed much to open-source so I'm not incredibly familiar with all the conventions! 🥲 (I was following the huggingface course when I found this issue, and though hf stood for that... Now I realize it probably stands for hotfix 😅 )

Almost. Start from master, create a new branch, cherry-pick the commits and then push (you could even force push to this branch).

EDIT: hf was for huggingface but this branch has been merged a while ago, I will delete it now.
