I do a git pull/clone to some repository (mainly github ones). Sometimes after a few minutes the download crashes.

Here is a log.

Answer 1

If a pull hung up, it will not write any changes to your filesystem. This is because, if it would, your local repository would not be in a stable state.

There is no way to resume a pull/clone. So your only choice is to pull/clone again.

Answer 2

cd into the the main directory and run

git fetch
