I am getting this error

# Configuration error

## KeyError: ‘sdk’

Base README.md template:

```auto
---
title: {{title}}
emoji: {{emoji}}
colorFrom: {{colorFrom}}
colorTo: {{colorTo}}
sdk: {{sdk}}
sdk_version: {{sdkVersion}}
app_file: app.py
pinned: false
---

Check out the configuration reference at https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/spaces-config-reference

```

Even though my README file is in this format. My README is on LFS however. This is my space [https://huggingface.co/spaces/kdighe/QuadrupedData](https://huggingface.co/spaces/kdighe/QuadrupedData) (it is meant to be private). Any help on how to resolve this will be highly appreciated as reading related posts and playing with README did not help for a very long time.

Hi @kdighe! Can you make the space public or share the README at least? Will be hard to debug otherwise.

Hi @freddyaboulton! I am checking with my colleagues to see if I can make the space public. Meanwhile this is my README.

title: QuadrupedData

colorFrom: red

colorTo: purple

sdk: gradio

sdk\_version: 3.8.2

Might be because the README is stored on lfs.

I used the README contents you copy-pasted in this thread in this space: [QuadrupedData - a Hugging Face Space by freddyaboulton](https://huggingface.co/spaces/freddyaboulton/ReadMeTest)

And it works

Thanks @freddyaboulton. I have been trying to remove this file from LFS but I am not that familiar with it. But I’ll keep going in that direction and see if it works.

hey, in my case, `readme.md` had to be renamed to `README.md` in order to work. firstly, i had to rename it to another filename, add, commit, push and then to uppercase, add, commit, push.
