Git Clone Fails - fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly. fatal: early EOF fatal: index-pack failed

Question

My computer has proper configuration SSH, I got this error when trying to clone the repository:

I run this command to clone the repository

git clone          


        

Answer 1

You may do that once for all using the git config command:

git config --global http.postBuffer 100000000

Answer 2

If you have an alternative option to clone on http, run any of the below commands in gitbash and try to clone the repository, it should work.

1. git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000
2. git config --global http.postBuffer 1048576000

And, if you don't have the option of http and want to proceed with ssh. You can configure SSH keepAlive either on the client or server.

Configure on server
Edit

~/.ssh/config  
ServerAliveInterval 60
ServerAliveCountMax 5

Configure on client Edit on /etc/ssh/sshd_config

ClientAliveInterval 60
ClientAliveCountMax 5

e.g.

echo 'ClientAliveInterval 60' | sudo tee --append /etc/ssh/sshd_config

EDIT: git config --global ssh.postBuffer 1048576000

Try increasing the buffer, i face the same probelm in my repository.
