I’m having a weird issue with Git. I was trying to push some React projects to my repo using the command line. Everything was fine about 10 minutes ago, but now I’m getting this error:
Enumerating objects: 27, done.
Counting objects: 100% (27/27), done.
Delta compression using up to 16 threads
Compressing objects: 100% (24/24), done.

Total 25 (delta 1), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0
send-pack: unexpected disconnect while reading sideband packet
fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly
I’ve tried a bunch of things to fix it:
Made a new repo
Created a new file
Reinstalled Git
Adjusted http.postBuffer and https.postBuffer in Git config
Installed the desktop version of Git
Nothing seems to work. It’s mainly happening with React apps. Any ideas what could be causing this or how to fix it? I’m pretty stumped.
I’ve dealt with this issue before, and it’s often related to network instability or server-side problems. One effective solution I found was to use the --depth flag when pushing. Try running ‘git push --depth=1 origin main’ (replace ‘main’ with your branch name). This limits the history being sent, which can help if the problem is related to large history or corrupted objects.
Another approach that worked for me was temporarily disabling Git compression. You can do this by setting ‘git config --global core.compression 0’. After successfully pushing, remember to re-enable compression.
If these don’t work, it might be worth checking with your Git hosting provider. Sometimes these issues can be caused by temporary server problems or maintenance on their end. They might have additional troubleshooting steps specific to their platform.
I’ve encountered this frustrating issue before, and it can be a real headache. In my experience, it’s often related to large file sizes or unstable network connections. One thing that worked for me was breaking up my commits into smaller chunks. Instead of pushing everything at once, try committing and pushing fewer files at a time.
Another trick that’s helped me is clearing the Git cache. You can do this with ‘git rm -r --cached .’ and then re-add all your files. This can sometimes resolve issues with tracking large files or corrupted objects.
If you’re still having trouble, it might be worth checking your Git LFS (Large File Storage) settings if you’re using it. Misconfigured LFS can cause similar issues, especially with larger projects like React apps.
Lastly, if all else fails, I’ve had success with creating a fresh clone of the repository and manually copying over my changes. It’s a bit of a nuclear option, but it can work when nothing else does.
hey man, that sucks. i had a similar issue once. have u tried clearing ur git config? sometimes old settings can mess things up. also, check ur firewall - it might be blocking git. if nothing works, maybe try pushing from a different machine? could be something weird with ur computer. good luck!
I’ve run into this exact problem before, and it’s a real pain. One thing that worked for me was tweaking the Git buffer size. Try running ‘git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000’ to increase it. Sometimes the default buffer is too small for larger projects like React apps.
Another trick that helped was using a VPN. Weird, I know, but it bypassed some network issues I was having. If you’ve got access to a VPN, give it a shot.
Also, check your .gitignore file. Make sure you’re not accidentally trying to push node_modules or other large directories. I once spent hours troubleshooting only to realize I was trying to push a ton of unnecessary files.
If all else fails, you might want to try a different Git client. I switched to GitKraken when I was having command line issues, and it somehow resolved the problem. Sometimes a fresh approach can make all the difference.
This error often stems from network issues or server-side problems. Have you tried pushing over a different network connection, like mobile hotspot? Sometimes ISPs or firewalls can interfere with Git operations. Also, check your remote URL with ‘git remote -v’ to ensure it’s correct. If you’re using HTTPS, switching to SSH might help. Lastly, try running ‘git gc’ to clean up your local repository, as large or corrupted objects can cause this error. If none of these work, it might be worth contacting your Git host’s support team, as the issue could be on their end.
