How do I fix “remote: fatal error in commit_refs” errors trying to push with Git?

Question

When I try to push to master I get:

remote: fatal error in commit_refs

How can I solve this?

Answer 1

In my case, GitHub was down by the time I was trying to push.

Just check https://www.githubstatus.com/ to know about GitHub site status.

When it's up you'll be able to push.
