For the past couple of days, I have been attempting to push existing repos towards a locally hosted git server (hosted on an http site) to which I was able to push to in the past. However, I am now unable to do so with the following error.

git push Enumerating objects: 9, done. Counting objects: 100% (9/9), done. Delta compression using up to 8 threads Compressing objects: 100% (4/4), done. Writing objects: 100% (5/5), 534 bytes | 267.00 KiB/s, done. Total 5 (delta 3), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0 error: RPC failed; HTTP 500 curl 22 The requested URL returned error: 500 send-pack: unexpected disconnect while reading sideband packet fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly Everything up-to-date

Furthermore, this error only happens to my account. My colleague is currently able to push without any issues. I am also able to execute most other commands including clone and fetch commands.

This error happens whether I push:

  • A commit with a single byte of data modified.
  • A commit with a large amount of data modified.
  • Multiple commits.
  • A commit within a fresh repo.

Things I have tried unsuccesfully:

  1. Hossein Kurd's answer which gave little to no helpful information.
set GIT_TRACE_PACKET=1 set GIT_TRACE=1 set GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1

Followed by:

git config --global core.compression 0 git clone --depth 1 <repo_URI> # cd to your newly created directory git fetch --unshallow git pull --all
  1. Codemaker's answer
git config --global http.postBuffer 157286400
  1. Checked the remote to make sure it was valid
git remote -v
  1. DobbyTheElf and TOPKAT's answer by verifying that I still have over 200 Gb of storage left on the server and by executing the following:
git gc git fsck

    You need to look at the logs of the server, since you're getting a 500. For Apache, this is typically the error.log file. You should not use http.postBuffer. Commented Jan 12, 2022 at 22:44

  • I am also getting this same error while pushing to GitHub repo from MacOS 13.x. Similar to yours I am able to clone & fetch. tried both ssh & http smart protocol; same error in both cases. To no avail, tried mentioned troubleshooting and tried both Apple git & latest one from Homebrew Commented Dec 30, 2024 at 14:35

I tried all the above and nothing worked. It turned out I had a whole bunch of .sbar files (200Mb+, Substance painter, substances). Once I tracked them as git LFS everything worked.

It looks like I was hitting the max file size limit on GitHub.

I had the same issue. Updating buffer size solved my problem.

git config http.postBuffer 524288000

+1, fixed for me after I updated this buffer and switched to latest git in Homebrew (in Apple git v 2.39, it didn't worked).
Interestingly just after switching branch, the original error came back. Tried to increase the buffer size to no avail..

For me it was issue with connection with GitHub.com I was intermittently getting network access issue with GitHub.com

After adding the IP address for GitHub.com in /etc/hosts it started working.

Refer this blog to setup the same: Can't access to Github's website on MacBook

I don't see how adding GitHub to the hosts file is in any way a solution to a problem with a local Git server.

git config --global http.version HTTP/1.1

Try this solutions, Hope you get the solution!
