Not able to clone large repo code on git

Question

I\'m getting an error like :-

Cloning into \'large-repository\'...
remote: Counting objects: 20248, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (10204/10204), do         


        

Answer 1

That looks like a curl error, typical of a slow internet connection which closes too soon.

As seen here, try a shallow clone (or switch to ssh)

git clone https://ramweexcel@bitbucket.org/weexcel1/higher-education-haryana.g‌​it --depth 1

Even then, as I documented in 2011, you might need to raise the http.postBuffer

git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000

But the idea remains: starting with one commit depth can help.

From there, you can gradually increase the depth:

git fetch --depth=

And, after a few iteration:

git fetch --unshallow
