+Utilities to manage a dataset.
+
+Examples of usage:
+
+- Consolidate a dataset, by encoding images into videos and computing statistics:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/manage_dataset.py consolidate \
+    --repo-id $USER/koch_test
+```
+
+- Consolidate a dataset which is not uploaded on the hub yet:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/manage_dataset.py consolidate \
+    --repo-id $USER/koch_test \
+    --local-files-only 1
+```
+
+- Upload a dataset on the hub:
+```bash
+python lerobot/scripts/manage_dataset.py push_to_hub \
+    --repo-id $USER/koch_test
