My git
client repeatedly fails with the following error after trying to clone the repository for some time.
What could be the issue here?
Note: I have registered my SSH key with the GIT hosting provider
Receiving objec开发者_StackOverflowts: 13% (1309/10065), 796.00 KiB | 6 KiB/s
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
Quick solution:
With this kind of error, I usually start by raising the postBuffer
size by:
git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000
(some comments below report having to double the value):
git config --global http.postBuffer 1048576000
(For npm publish
, Martin Braun reports in the comments setting it to no more than 50 000 000 instead of the default 1 000 000)
###More information:
From the git config
man page, http.postBuffer
is about:
Maximum size in bytes of the buffer used by smart HTTP transports when POSTing data to the remote system.
For requests larger than this buffer size, HTTP/1.1 andTransfer-Encoding: chunked
is used to avoid creating a massive pack file locally. Default is 1 MiB, which is sufficient for most requests.
Even for the clone, that can have an effect, and in this instance, the OP Joe reports:
[clone] works fine now
Note: if something went wrong on the server side, and if the server uses Git 2.5+ (Q2 2015), the error message might be more explicit.
See "Git cloning: remote end hung up unexpectedly, tried changing postBuffer
but still failing".
Kulai (in the comments) points out to this Atlassian Troubleshooting Git page, which adds:
Error code 56
indicates a curl receive the error ofCURLE_RECV_ERROR
which means there was some issue that prevented the data from being received during the cloning process.
Typically this is caused by a network setting, firewall, VPN client, or anti-virus that is terminating the connection before all data has been transferred.
It also mentions the following environment variable, order to help with the debugging process.
# Linux
export GIT_TRACE_PACKET=1
export GIT_TRACE=1
export GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1
#Windows
set GIT_TRACE_PACKET=1
set GIT_TRACE=1
set GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1
With Git 2.25.1 (Feb. 2020), you know more about this http.postBuffer
"solution".

docs
: mention when increasing http.postBuffer is valuableSigned-off-by: brian m. carlson
Users in a wide variety of situations find themselves with HTTP push problems.
Oftentimes these issues are due to antivirus software, filtering proxies, or other man-in-the-middle situations; other times, they are due to simple unreliability of the network.
However, a common solution to HTTP push problems found online is to increase http.postBuffer.
This works for none of the aforementioned situations and is only useful in a small, highly restricted number of cases: essentially, when the connection does not properly support HTTP/1.1.
Document when raising this value is appropriate and what it actually does, and discourage people from using it as a general solution for push problems, since it is not effective there.
So the documentation for git config http.postBuffer
now includes:
http.postBuffer
Maximum size in bytes of the buffer used by smart HTTP transports when POSTing data to the remote system.
For requests larger than this buffer size, HTTP/1.1 and Transfer-Encoding: chunked is used to avoid creating a massive pack file locally.
Default is 1 MiB, which issufficient for most requests.Note that raising this limit is only effective for disabling chunked transfer encoding and therefore should be used only where the remote server or a proxy only supports HTTP/1.0 or is noncompliant with the HTTP standard.
Raising this is not, in general, an effective solution for most push problems, but can increase memory consumption significantly since the entire buffer is allocated even for small pushes.
Same error with Bitbucket. Fixed by
git config --global http.postBuffer 500M
git config --global http.maxRequestBuffer 100M
git config --global core.compression 0
The http.postBuffer trick did not work for me. However:
For others experiencing this problem, it may be an issue with GnuTLS. If you set Verbose mode, you may see the underlying error look something along the lines of the code below.
Unfortunately, my only solution so far is to use SSH.
I've seen a solution posted elsewhere to compile Git with OpenSSL instead of GnuTLS. There is an active bug report for the issue here.

Based on this answer, I tried following (with https url):
- initial cloning of repo:
git clone --depth 25 url-here
- fetch commits with increasing twice per try depth:
git fetch --depth 50
git fetch --depth 100
git fetch --depth 200
...and so on
- eventually (when I think enough is fetched) I run
git fetch --unshallow
- and it's done.
The process obviously takes much more time, but in my case setting http.postBuffer
and core.compression
didn't help.
UPD: I found out that fetching via ssh works for any repo size (discovered accidentally), done with git clone <ssh url>
, given you have created ssh keys. Once repo is fetched, I change remote address using git remote set-url <https url to repo>
The only thing that worked for me was to clone the repo using the HTTPS link instead of the SSH link.
This is due the internet connectivity issue, i faced the same issue. I did a shallow copy of code using
git clone --depth 1 //FORKLOCATION
Later unshallowed the clone using
git fetch --unshallow
For shared bandwidth try to clone when load is less. Otherwise, try with a high speed connection. If still does not work, please use below command,
git config --global http.postBuffer 2048M
git config --global http.maxRequestBuffer 1024M
git config --global core.compression 9
git config --global ssh.postBuffer 2048M
git config --global ssh.maxRequestBuffer 1024M
git config --global pack.windowMemory 256m
git config --global pack.packSizeLimit 256m
And try to clone again. You might need to change those settings according to your available memory size.
Obs.: Changing http.postBuffer
might also require to set up the Nginx configuration file for gitlab to accept larger body sizes for the client, by tuning the value of client_max_body_size.
However, there is a workaround if you have access to the Gitlab machine or to a machine in its network, and that is by making use of git bundle
.
- go to your git repository on the source machine
- run
git bundle create my-repo.bundle --all
- transfer (eg., with rsync) the my-repo.bundle file to the destination machine
- on the destination machine, run
git clone my-repo.bundle
git remote set-url origin "path/to/your/repo.git"
git push
All the best!
If you are using https and you are getting the error.
I used https instead of http and it solved my problem
git config --global https.postBuffer 524288000
I got solution after using below command:
git repack -a -f -d --window=250 --depth=250
I got the same issue, I fixed this with trial and error method. I changed the core.compression value until it works.
I started with "git config --global core.compression 1" after 3 attempts
"git config --global core.compression 4" worked for me.
Well, I wanted to push a 219 MB solution, but I had no luck with
git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000
And what's the point of having a 525 MB post buffer anyway? it's silly. So I looked at the git error below:
Total 993 (delta 230), reused 0 (delta 0)
POST git-receive-pack (5173245 bytes)
error: fatal: RPC failed; curl 56 SSL read: error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0), errno 10054
So git want's to post 5 MB, then I made the post buffer 6 MB, and it works
git config --global http.postBuffer 6291456
I was facing this issue when cloning data (via HTTP) from remote git repo hosted on AWS EC2 instance managed by elastic beanstalk. The cloning itself was also done on AWS EC2 instance.
I tried all aforementioned solutions and their combinations:
- setting git's
http.postBuffer
- setting
http.maxrequestbuffer
- turning off git compression and trying "shallow"
git clone
and thengit fetch --unshallow
- see fatal: early EOF fatal: index-pack failed - tunning GIT memory settings -
packedGitLimit
et al, see here: fatal: early EOF fatal: index-pack failed - tunning nginx configuration - setting
client_max_body_size
to both big value and 0 (unlimited); settingproxy_request_buffering off;
- setting
options single-request
in /etc/resolv.conf - throttling git client throughput with trickle
- using strace for tracing
git clone
- considering update of git client
After all of this, I was still facing the same issue over and over again, until I found that issue is in Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) cutting the connection. After accessing the EC2 instance (the one hosting git repo) directly instead of going through ELB I've finally managed to clone git repo! I'm still not sure which of ELB (timeout) parameters is responsible for this, so I still have to do some research.
UPDATE
It seems that changing Connection Draining policy for AWS Elastic Load Balancer by raising timeout from 20 seconds to 300 seconds resolved this issue for us.
The relation between the git clone
errors and "connection draining" is strange and not obvious to us. It might be that connection draining timeout change caused some internal changes in ELB configuration that fixed the issue with premature connection closing.
This is the related question on AWS forum (no answer yet): https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=258572
in /etc/resolv.conf
add the line to the end of the file
options single-request
I had the same issue and it was related with a bad internet connection, so after try with some git configs, i've just disconnected from my network and connected again and it works!.
It seems that after connection lost (or the action that fires this situation), git is stuck.
I hope that it could be a help for someone more here.
Best,
I also had the same problem.The reason for this problem is as Kurtis's descriptions about GNUTLS.
If you have the same reason and your system is Ubuntu, you can solve this problem by installing the latest version of git from ppa:git-core/ppa
.The commands are as below.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get git
Wasted a few hours trying some of these solutions but eventually traced this to a corporate IPS (Instrusion Protection System) dropping the connection after a certain amount of data is transferred.
Increasing postBuffer size and maxRequestBuffer will help you in this problem. Just follow the steps.
steps:
1 .Open terminal or Git Bash and with "cd" go to the location where you wanted to clone repo.
2.Set compression to 0
git config --global core.compression 0
3.Set postBuffer size
git config --global http.postBuffer 1048576000
4.Set maxRequestBuffer size
git config --global http.maxRequestBuffer 100M
5.Now start clone
git clone <repo url>
6.Wait till clone get complete.
Thank you. Happy Coding !!!
I had a similar problem, but with a bamboo job. Bamboo was failing doing a local clone (local but over an SSH proxy) of a cached repository, I deleted the cache and after that it worked, but any time it tries to clone from the local cache there is a failure. Seems like a problem with bamboo's version of the SSH proxy not git per se.
I faced with this problem using git in Kubuntu. I've also noticed overall instability in networking and found a solution.
in /etc/resolv.conf add the line to the end of the file
options single-request
This fixed delays before every domain name resolution and git started to work like a charm after this.
SOLVED WITH WIFI Router Setting :
I got same issue when I am in wifi with Settings PPPoE(auto login by wifi router).
Git download speed is very slow 15kb.
packet_write_wait: Connection to 17.121.133.16 port 22: Broken pipe fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly fatal: early EOF fatal: index-pack failed
Solution : 1. Changed setting to Dynamic IP, reboot wifi router. 2. From web browser login to Internet service provider portal (do not configure PPPoE , auto login from the wifi router).
After changing Git download speed is 1.7MiB.
use ssh
instead of http
, it's not a good answer for this question but at least it works for me
This solved my problem:
git clone --depth=20 https://repo.git -b master
The tricks above did not help me, as the repo was larger than the max push size allowed at github. What did work was a recommendation from https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/issues/3758 which suggested pushing a bit at a time:
If your branch has a long history, you can try pushing a smaller number of commits at a time (say, 2000) with something like this:
git rev-list --reverse master | ruby -ne 'i ||= 0; i += 1; puts $_ if i % 2000 == 0' | xargs -I{} git push origin +{}:refs/heads/master
That will walk through the history of master, pushing objects 2000 at a time. (You can, of course, substitute a different branch in both places if you like.) When that's done, you should be able to push master one final time, and things should be up to date. If 2000 is too many and you hit the problem again, you can adjust the number so it's smaller.
I had to remove the branch flag for the git clone
command.
On MacOSX High Sierra the solution for me was:
brew install git-lfs
and my repository was cloned without any errors.
It may be as simple as a server problem. If using GitHub, check https://twitter.com/githubstatus. I saw this for the first time just now and discovered GitHub's having a wobble. A few minutes later it worked again fine.
This worked for me, setting up Googles nameserver because no standard nameserver was specified, followed by restarting networking:
sudo echo "dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8" >> /etc/network/interfaces && sudo ifdown venet0:0 && sudo ifup venet0:0
I found my problem to be with the .netrc file, if so for you too then you can do the following:
Open your .netrc file and edit it to include github credentials.
Type nano ~/netrc
or gedit ~/netrc
Then include the following: *machine github.com
login username
password SECRET
machine api.github.com
login username
password SECRET*
You can include your raw password there but for security purposes, generate an auth token here github token and paste it in place of your password.
Hope this helps someone
I have the same error while using BitBucket. What I did was remove https from the URL of my repo and set the URL using HTTP
.
git remote set-url origin http://mj@bitbucket.org/mj/pt.git
