I’ve created a dataset (using CLI) and a Gitlab project.  
`renku init cruise-track-1sec`

I added the data to the dataset (1 GB) and pushed it to the repo:  
renku dataset create cruise-track-1sec  
renku dataset import zenodo-doi  
git remote add origin [git@renkulab.io](mailto:git@renkulab.io):ACE-ASAID/cruise-track-1sec.git  
git add .  
git commit -m “Initial commit of data”  
git push -u origin master  
Uploading LFS objects: 100% (8/8), 1.0 GB | 853 KB/s, done

But the files do not appear through either [renkulab.io](http://renkulab.io) or Gitlab. Gitlab says there are 376 MB of files, but I cannot view them.

`git-lfs ls` shows all files as being added to LFS, so I don’t _think_ that is the problem, but would appreciate some help please 🙂

Thanks for the question!

The first thing I would check: sometimes if the connection closes before the files finish uploading, you need to do a second `git push` to get the repo changes to show up (which have the pointers to the lfs files), even though the lfs objects are done uploading to gitlab.

Second thing (maybe just a red herring)-- what did you commit during the “git commit -m”? Asking because renku dataset commands should have automatically committed the data you added.

Brilliant, thanks @emmjab - the second git push did it 🙂
