How to push an Ollama model

Pushing an Ollama model publishes a local model name to ollama.com under an account namespace. It is used for sharing custom models or imported models after the local copy has been created and tested.

The destination name must include the account or organization namespace, and the account must have the required public key or authentication state. Push only models that are safe and licensed for distribution.

The campaign did not push to a real account, so account names are sanitized and push verification remains credential-limited.

1. Sign in to the account that owns the destination namespace.

   $ ollama signin

2. Copy or create the model with the account namespace.

   $ ollama cp example/ok-model exampleuser/ok-model

3. Check the namespaced model locally before pushing.

   $ ollama list
   NAME                    ID              SIZE
   exampleuser/ok-model    17052f91a42e    13 GB

4. Push the model to ollama.com.

   $ ollama push exampleuser/ok-model
   retrieving manifest
   pushing 17052f91a42e
   success

5. Pull the published model from a clean host or after removing the local copy.

   $ ollama pull exampleuser/ok-model
   success
