gitlabI have been using Gitlab for a while now to run a local Git server for storing code and documentation of the projects I work on. Gitlab is the open source version of Github which you can run on your own environments .

After upgrading to version 6.3 I received an error when checking in larger projects to the Gitlab server.

The below shows the git push command and the error which occurred.

git push origin master
Counting objects: 47, done.
Delta compression using up to 8 threads.
Compressing objects: 100% (43/43), done.
Writing objects: 100% (47/47), 2.91 MiB | 204.00 KiB/s, done.
Total 47 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
error: RPC failed; result=22, HTTP code = 411
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
Everything up-to-date

The solution is the run the below command on the client to increase the postBuffer size before trying to re-run the git push. Use the below command to set the postBuffer size to 100MB.

git config http.postBuffer 104857600

Then retry the git push and all should be working.

git push origin master
Counting objects: 47, done.
Delta compression using up to 8 threads.

I get this error when cloning, not pushing. Is there a solution for this?

Hi Jay,

Can you do ‘git init’, ‘git remote add origin http://git-url‘ and finally ‘git pull origin master’ instead?

Funciona, pero hay alguna forma de que quede permanente?

It works, but there is some way to make it permanent?
