Windows git: Fatal: TaskCanceledException encountered

Question

I have recently updated my git (2.7.4.windows.1). Since then pulling from github produces output like this:

$ git pull --rebase
Fatal: TaskCanceledException enco         


        

Answer 1

This can also be triggered by a bad network connection. I sometimes have to switch to using my phone as a hotspot to stop Git giving the following error:

fatal: TaskCanceledException encountered.
   A task was canceled.

Perhaps it's an authentication timeout that triggers it?
