fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedlySolution:
To resolve the issue, increase the http post buffer size by executing below command and try pushing the code.
geeks@localhost:~$ git config --global http.postBuffer 247286400Please note that this issue is Git client specific and not server related to the Git server.
What is http.postBuffer?
Maximum size in bytes of the buffer used by smart HTTP transports when POSTing data to the remote system. For requests larger than this buffer size, HTTP/1.1 and Transfer-Encoding: chunked is used to avoid creating a massive pack file locally. Default is 1 MiB, which is sufficient for most requests.
Source - Git Documentation
It has been observed that this error occurs while executing any GIT command and not specific to any particular command. The http.postbuffer value can be increased if it doesn't work.
