examples/writer.py — Generates example.gguf in the current directory to demonstrate generating a GGUF file. Note that this file cannot be used as a model.

scripts/gguf-dump.py — Dumps a GGUF file's metadata to the console.

scripts/gguf-set-metadata.py — Allows changing simple metadata values in a GGUF file by key.

scripts/gguf-convert-endian.py — Allows converting the endianness of GGUF files.

git tag -a gguf-v1.0.0 -m "Version 1.0 release"
  1. Push the tags.
git push origin --tags
