Git pull fails with bad pack header error

Question

remote: Counting objects: 146, done.
remote: fatal: unable to create thread: Resource temporarily unavailable
error: git          


        

Answer 1

I was able to resolve this using following steps

Step 1. clone using lesser depth

git clone https://your_git_clone_url --depth 3

Step 2. Edit .git/config and add line for develop. This is required as after setting depth I was not able to switch remote branch other than master

[core]
    repositoryformatversion = 0
    filemode = false
    bare = false
    logallrefupdates = true
    symlinks = false
    ignorecase = true
[remote "origin"]
    url = https:
    fetch = +refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master
    fetch = +refs/heads/develop:refs/remotes/origin/develop  <<--- Add this line
[branch "master"]
    remote = origin
    merge = refs/heads/master
[branch "develop"]
    remote = origin
    merge = refs/heads/develop

Step 3: get fetch
