Git push over ssh fails on windows with 'the remote end hung up unexpectedly' error

ssh

I'm hoping someone can help me, as I've been fighting with this for days, and am stumped. I've set up the standard git client (from git-scm.com) on a brand new laptop running Windows 10, and am working on a repository hosted on Github.com.

Initially, I ran into some conflicts in the SSH configuration, due to the native Windows OpenSSH client fighting with the bundled SSH client, that comes with git. So authentication was failing. This, I've managed to solve by explicitly setting the global sshCommand config value as per Adam Ralph's suggestion. This got me past authentication issues, and I'm able to clone, fetch, and pull from GitHub just fine. However, I'm not running into the following error, when I try to push.

Counting objects: 15, done.
Delta compression using up to 12 threads.
Compressing objects: 100% (11/11), done.
Writing objects: 100% (15/15), 3.20 KiB | 252.00 KiB/s, done.
Total 15 (delta 1), reused 0 (delta 0)
Connection to github.com closed by remote host.
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

I've been scouring google and stackoverflow, and tried every solution I could find:

  • Set the http.postbuffer value to 500MB - 1GB (though my repo has no large files, just a handful of small typescript files)
  • Fully uninstalled the built-in Windows OpenSSH client
  • Installed various versions of the Git client 2.17.1, 2.19.2, 2.20.1 (current latest version)
  • Did some sanity checks, by attempting the same git push commands with subsets of the same added/changed files on a couple of other computers running Windows 10 Pro, with the same repository
  • Re-installed the git client, disabling LFS support and then ran git filter-branch on the repo to clean up the repo
  • Attempted multiple re-clones of the repo to a fresh folder
  • Attempted changing over to use HTTPS instead of SSH. This seems to be the only way to unblock pushing to my GitHub repo
  • Turned on more verbose logging via setting the sshCommand to ssh -vv. That updates the console logging to block down below.

At this point, I can unblock being able to actually do work by switching over to HTTPS remote connections, but I've never had issues like this using SSH in the several years that I've been using git. Has anyone run into something like this? Is there something obvious I'm missing.

How do I fix fatal the remote end hung up unexpectedly in git?

To solve the issue, change the settings of your buffer so that you have enough space available. You can increase the buffer value up to 2000000000.

Why is git push failing?

failed to push some refs to errors are often caused when changes are not committed before pushing, issues with Git pre-push hook, incorrect branch name, or the local repository not being in sync with the Git repository.

What do I do when git push is not working?

If git push origin master not working , all you need to do is edit that file with your favourite editor and change the URL = setting to your new location. Assuming the new repository is correctly set up and you have your URL right, you'll easily be able to push and pull to and from your new remote location.

What is postBuffer in git?

From the git config man page, http. postBuffer is about: Maximum size in bytes of the buffer used by smart HTTP transports when POSTing data to the remote system.

This, I've managed to solve by explicitly setting the global sshCommand config value as per Adam Ralph's suggestion.

Yes, but no: try first to use Git in a CMD session where you have put a simplified PATH, one in which the Git bundled openSSH will comes first and with be used (OpenSSH_8.2p1, OpenSSL 1.1.1d 10 Sep 2019) instead of the older one from Windows

set PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
set GH=C:\path\to\git
set PATH=%GH%\bin;%GH%\usr\bin;%GH%\mingw64\bin;%PATH%

git config --gobal --unset core.sshCommand
cd C:\path\to\repo
git config --local --unset core.sshCommand

Then try again, in that CMD session, for testing if the SSH issue persists.
