Answer 1

This might be happening due to a large number of tags in your repo. Check this google-group entry, this question and another google group entry.

Basically, this is a known issue with msysgit and users on google group suggest using the ssh protocol instead as workaround:

1. Uninstall Git (this doesn't uninstall your existing repositories or SSH keys you've generated)
2. Reinstall git at C:\Git
3. Open git bash
4. run this command: export GIT_SSH=/c/Git/bin/ssh.exe

Also, the commit response you are getting suggests nothing got committed, do a git log to check if the commit actually happened.

Another reason, as mentioned in this msysgit ticket could be the presence of spaces in your Environment variables. Moving the installation of msysgit etc to C: instead of C:\Program Files may solve it.

I had the same issue with CLion on Windows 10 when trying to clone from a private repository on gitlab. However, the error vanished without reinstalling, when I added the git binary path (C:\Program Files\Git\bin for me) to the PATH variable.

Answer 5

The offered solution didn't work for me, what I had to do was reinstall Git with one important thing: Make sure to select "Attribute .sh files to git" during the install process and it seems to be all good now.

Answer 6

I tried to use PowerShell or an external terminal rather than using WebStorm's Terminal and it worked for me. For me, the issue was while deploying the git code to Github pages. The build was successful but deploying to gh-pages was failing because of the above error.
