git: retry if http request failed

Question

In our Continuous Integration environment we do very heavy usage of git clone and git update.

Sometimes the network or the central git server is not reliable.

Is there a way to tell git to retry if the http request failed?

Example:

500 Internal Server Error while accessing https://example.com/repos/foo_bar/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack

Answer 1

Run below command

while ! git push; do sleep 7; done

Answer 2

This is a wrapper around git commands, it recognizes when a command fails and retries

git retry [-v] [-c COUNT] [-d DELAY] [-e] — <git_subcommand>
