Github - unexpected disconnect while reading sideband packet

I've got quite interesting problem. I tried to send some projects via bash to repo and recently there was a problem with sending it.

Enumerating objects: 27, done.
Counting objects: 100% (27/27), done.
Delta compression using up to 16 threads
Compressing objects: 100% (24/24), done.
Writing objects: 100% (25/25), 187.79 KiB | 9.39 MiB/s, 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

The funny part is that 10 min earlier I can send it without any problems.

I tried with getting new repo, creating new file, reinstalling git, git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000 with bigger numbers as well, also https.postBuffer and so on. Also install desktop version the same issue come in.

I've got problems mostly with React apps.

Anyone know the solution ? What could go wrong ?

First of all, check your network connection stability.

If there is no problem with network connection try another solution; it may work:

On Linux

Execute the following in the command line before executing the Git command:

export GIT_TRACE_PACKET=1
export GIT_TRACE=1
export GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1

On Windows

Execute the following in the command line before executing the Git command:

set GIT_TRACE_PACKET=1
set GIT_TRACE=1
set GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1

In addition:

git config --global core.compression 0
git clone --depth 1 <repo_URI>
# cd to your newly created directory
git fetch --unshallow 
git pull --all

As kodybrown said :

For PowerShell users:

$env:GIT_TRACE_PACKET=1
$env:GIT_TRACE=1
$env:GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1

It might be your network issue. If the network is too slow, then it might disconnect connection unexpectedly.

If you are having a good internet and still getting this message then it might be an issue with post buffer. You can resolve it by executing the following command in your cmd.

git config --global http.postBuffer 157286400

I didn't want to believe it but after 3 failed clones, switching from a wifi connection (on Mac) to hardwired connection (on Linux) made it work first time. Not sure why!
