Hours and hours on this, I for some reason, absolutely cannot push to github.
I was re-added a few days ago to an organizations group, and re-added my SSH key in github settings...
Key appears to be working by running:
ssh -T [email protected]
I then get:
Hi meatcorpname! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.
But it continually hangs and eventually gives up on writing objects, after a painful large chunk of 5-10 minutes.
Goal: I have a local project I am working on, I am simply just trying to port it on the organization's github. I have created the repo name, and set the origin a dozen or so times, via SSH and HTTPS, all confirmed each time via git remote -v. I have completely removed and/or re-wrote the remote origin path, trying various ways, multiple times.
The most consistent error, I get is: fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly
Total 229 (delta 70), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0
fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly
But occasionally I have received things like this:
remote: fatal: pack exceeds maximum allowed size (2.00 GiB)
send-pack: unexpected disconnect while reading sideband packet
This is a small website, with a JS, CSS, and modest image folder... Not large by any means for Github. There is also a video folder container 6 .mp4 videos, which I suppose somewhat large.. Anyway, I tried removing the videos from git tracking, then removing the folder entirely, and re-pushing, still hangs and gives up.
Most recently I have tried:
git config --global http.version HTTP/1.1
Nothing.
git config --global http.postBuffer 157286400
Nothing.
using --Force flag with push command(s).
Nothing.
GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 git push
Nothing.
Anything left I can try to simply push my local project to a defined, new, github repo?

Transfer the ownership of the repo through Github's tools https://docs.github.com/en/[email protected]/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/transferring-a-repository
Or fork the Repo and then delete the link to the fork and done.
To manage big files in Git you need the following extension: https://git-lfs.com/
CodePudding user response：
Perhaps try using Git LFS? https://git-lfs.com/
Here is a guide on how to install it: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/working-with-files/managing-large-files/installing-git-large-file-storage
And here is how to add files to it: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/working-with-files/managing-large-files/moving-a-file-in-your-repository-to-git-large-file-storage
CodePudding user response：
Git is not designed for such large packs of data. You got the error message saying that the data that you're trying to push exceeds the maximum allowed size of 2 GiB, which means it could be much larger than that:
remote: fatal: pack exceeds maximum allowed size (2.00 GiB)
You may want to try Git LFS which stands for "large file storage", or to push the larger files one at a time.

For some reason, removing the git folder, and re-intializing git worked. Guessing it needed this with the re-adding to the organization/new set of SSH key in github?
The videos were potentially an issue with size and pertaining to the size error; but again I had removed that folder and still ended up with the same hanging, disconnect. Fml
