Git: Stop git push

Question

I\'m pushing a large file to git, but have a very slow connection. What is the safest way to terminate this push (mid-push), and resume it when I have a better connection?

Answer 1

I believe git push is atomic, meaning that if you just Ctrl-C out of the operation, the remote repository will be in its original state, prior to the push. This also means that, when you do the push again, it will be starting over from the beginning. But it doesn't sound like that's necessarily a problem for you.
