 This dataset coresponds to the walkthrough example for using the [Arctic Embed training code in ArcticTraining](https://github.com/snowflakedb/ArcticTraining/blob/main/projects/arctic_embed/examples/finetune_models/README.md). See [that README](https://github.com/snowflakedb/ArcticTraining/blob/main/projects/arctic_embed/examples/finetune_models/README.md) for more details.
 
 
+## Example: Selective downloads via Git LFS
+
+Since this dataset contains various intermediate files not necessary for training, it can be helpful to use the Git LFS backend of Hugging Face Datasets to pull select files.
+
+``` shell
+# First, ensure you have installed git-lfs (see `https://git-lfs.com/` for documentation).
+git lfs install
+
+# Clone the full precomputed data repository without large files as our `data/` directory.
+mv ./data/.gitignore ./data.gitignore
+rmdir ./data
+GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1 git clone https://hf.co/datasets/Snowflake/arctic-embed-ft-v1.git ./data
+mv ./data.gitignore ./data/.gitignore
+
+# Ensure we have all the files you need for training downloaded from LFS.
+cd arctic-embed-ft-v1/
+git lfs pull --include="combined/pretokenized/example_dot95/" --include="eval/"
+
+# Optional: Download more large files (e.g. everything but the very large precomputed embeddings).
+git lfs pull --exclude="*document_embeddings*" --exclude="*query_embeddings*"
