I dont think its a good idea to do that but if you have backup  in ur machine   push one more time and then try cloning repo and then remove  git from old dir and move  git from new cloned folder    git is resolved but because of the issue some files may not upload at git  Push again all from ur back up and then pull it to ur server or the other machine where it get currupted  Right now i just did thid     Works for me    and take a backup of your dir before doing this      And plz correct me if i am wrong  I also dont know what can go wrong after doing this  But this time it really works

Contrary to one of the other answers - I had the problem on push using ssh - I switched to https and it was fixed   git remote remove origin git remote add origin https   github  com user repo git push --set-upstream origin master

PLESK Nginx and GIT I was getting this error on plesk git and while pushing a large repo with  who knows what  it gave me this error with HTTP code 413 and i looked into following Server was Plesk and it had nginx running as well as apache2 so i looked into logs and found the error in nginx logs  Followed this link to allow plesk to rebuild configuration with larger file upload    I skipped the php part for git  After that git push worked without any errors

This can also happen if any of the commits you re pushing are malformed   I  unknowingly  had a commit with a malformed Author Email field  but all I was getting was this vague remote end hung up error message   I was able to push other branches just not this one branch  so I started pushing commits from the  bad  branch one at a time until I finally landed at   Pushing to git github com directangular unicorn git Counting objects  100   9 9   done  Delta compression using up to 20 threads Writing objects  100   5 5   549 bytes   549 00 KiB s  done  Total 5  delta 4   reused 0  delta 0  remote  error  object 74c7584ff0b93591c19d3a3c19695889dd2274d2  badEmail  invalid author committer line - bad email         remote  fatal  fsck error in packed object         error  remote unpack failed  index-pack abnormal exit To github com directangular unicorn git     remote rejected        pizzafeast - gt  pizzafeast  failed  error  failed to push some refs to  git github com directangular unicorn git    So it looks like the remote end hung up unexpectedly error is sort of  swallowing  the actual error message  which is probably some kind of malformed commit as I have here   After fixing the malformed email I was able to push just fine

1  cd to the project dir  2  git status  3  git checkout -f HEAD  4  confirm success by pulling down master again to make sure you re up to date if your repo looked incomplete  This works if you get the error in question from Visual Studio s Git when cloning a repo from Bitbucket

This error can also be thrown through missing write permissions on the repository     My concrete case went like this    I created a repo with the root user of my server  via SSH   I installed a git service and created a git linux user that should manage all git-related action  By that time  I had forgotten that the repo was created with the root user in the first place  and the git user simply didn t have the file permissions to write anything into the repository

Another addition  since I encountered this error a different way and Google took me here   My problem was a mismatch of case  one camelCase and one not  Apparently  GIT stops you doing this without telling you why  So if your branches are different from the remote only in the capitalization  try changing them to be identical   See  Git    39 Master cannot be resolved to branch  39  after merge

I was facing a similar error uploading a large repo   fatal  The remote end hung up unexpectedly  without any further details   After a lot of research  here s what I did    Using SSH instead of HTTPS  didn t solve the problem  Increasing http postBuffer incrementally up to a very large value  still no luck  I figured out that it might be because of large files in the repo  as this is a newly migrated repo from perforce   so I recreated the repo using LFS  setting largeFileThreshold to 40m  which greatly reduced the repo size  from 3 5G to 500M   I thought this will solve the problem  but to my surprise I still faced the same error    Finally  it occurred to me that may be I m using an older git client  as I didn t see additional error messages  I upgraded git client to latest  2 20 1   and voila  the error is gone

Even after configuring post buffer the issue was not resolved   My problem was solved when I changed my wifi network from broadband to my mobile hotspot  This might not be the logically correct answer but it solved the issue    Make sure you have good internet speed

You might get an error like this      error  could not lock config file  git config  No such file or   directory   that is because you dont have a local  git config file You can get it working by this command  git config --global http postBuffer 524288000

This looks similar to How do I get github to default to ssh and not https for new repositories  Probably it s worth trying to switch from http protocol to ssh     git remote add origin git github com username project git

You probably did clone the repository within an existing one  to solve the problem can simply clone of the repository in another directory and replicate the changes to this new directory and then run the push

The problem is due to git https buffer settings  In order to solve it  taken from Git fails when pushing commit to github   git config http postBuffer 524288000   And run the command again

If using GitHub  in the repo s directory  run this command to set http postBuffer to what appears to be its maximum allowable value for GitHub  git config http postBuffer 2147483648  If cloning a repo instead using git clone  it can be cloned with the same option  git clone -c http postBuffer 2147483648 git github com myuser myrepo git  path to myrepo  In both cases  the number above is equivalent to 2 GiB  It is however possible that you will need up to this amount of free memory to be able to use this value  Ensure that each push to GitHub has commits that don t add more than this size of changes  In fact I would keep the commit push size under 1 8 GiB to be safe  This can require dividing a large commit into smaller commits and pushes  Why this value  This specific value is used because at least as of the year 2018  this value was documented  archive link  as the push size limit of GitHub   we don   t allow pushes over 2GB  Why not set lower  Some prior answers say to set it to 524288000  500 MiB   but this number seems arbitrary and without merit  Any lower value should work as long as your push size is not larger than the set value  Why not set higher  If instead you set the value to higher than 2 GiB  and if your attempted push size is also higher  you can expect the documented error with GitHub   remote  fatal  pack exceeds maximum allowed size

None of the above answers worked for me  but here s what did   1  delete  git  from your project 2  clone the remote repo to some new location like your desktop  git clone https   github com foo bar git 3  move  git  from the new location into the old location 4  re-commit and push your changes

The issue cause for me was network settings   I have a  Killer  wifi card which apparently does muck with network packets in a way that SSH and SSL do not like   To fix the problem  I had to go into  Killer Control Center    Parameters   and disable  Advanced Stream Detect  - git commands started working again instantly

In my case I got this error  when pushing with Intellij Idea   Here is how I traced down my error and fixed it    enable debug logging within the terminal  which is never a bad idea       set GIT CURL VERBOSE 1 set GIT TRACE 1     push via the terminal  not via intellij    git push  - gt  fatal  The current branch feature my-new-feature has no upstream branch  To push the current branch and set the remote as upstream   Solution was to set the upstream  which must have been gone wrong before   git push --set-upstream origin feature my-new-feature

Culprit  in my case   A high-latency network   This is not an answer per se but more of an observation that may help others  I found that this error pops up occasionally on high-latency networks  I have to use a Satellite dish for internet access for example   The speed of the network is fine  but the latency can be high  Note  The problem only exists in certain scenarios  but I have not determined what the pattern is   Temporary mitigation  I switched networks   I moved to a slower  but lower latency cell network  my phone used as a hotspot    and the problem disappeared  Note that I can only do this itermittently because my cell connectivity is also intermittent  Plus the bandwidth usage adds costs  I m also lucky that I have this option available to me  Not everyone does   I m sure there is some configuration setting somewhere that makes git   or ssh or curl or whatever times out first   more tolerant of such networks  but I don t know what it is   A plea to developers  These kinds of issues are a constant problem for rural populations  Please think of us when you design your systems  tools  and applications  Thank you

Seems almost pointless to add an answer  but I was fighting this for ages when I finally discovered it was Visual Studio Online that was suffering a sporadic outage  That became apparent when VS kept prompting for creds and the VSO website sometimes gave a 500  Counting objects  138816  done  Delta compression using up to 8 threads  Compressing objects  100   38049 38049   done  error  unable to rewind rpc post data - try increasing http postBuffer error  RPC failed  curl 56 SSL read  error 00000000 lib 0  func 0  reason 0   errno 10054 The remote end hung up unexpectedly 138816   33 30 MiB   3 00 KiB s Writing objects  100   138816 138816   50 21 MiB   3 00 KiB s  done  Total 138816  delta 100197   reused 134574  delta 96515  fatal  The remote end hung up unexpectedly Everything up-to-date  I set my HTTP post buffer back to 2 MB afterwards  since I actually think it works better with many smaller posts

I was able to get around this issue using Git Shell   Each repository within github com gives you HTTPS SSH Subversion URL s that you can use to download using Shell  see here  http   prntscr com 8ydguv  Based on GitHub s recent changes  SSH seems to be the best method   Command to use in Shell   git clone  URL of repo goes here w  no quotes

Other solutions didn t work in my case  doing a garbage collection fixed it for me  git gc --aggressive  You can try with just git gc first
