GitHub push fails with RPC failed; curl 55 SSL_write() returned SYSCALL, errno = 32

Question

I have committed my work and I want to push it on my repo on the github

but the push fails and this error is displayed:

error: RPC failed; curl 55 SSL_write() returned SYSCALL, errno = 32
fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly
Total 10 (delta 3), reused 0 (delta 0)
fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly
Done

How can I solve it?

Answer 1

Check first if your work you just committed made your repository too big to be pushed to GitHub.

You can use a tool like github/git-sizer to get an idea of what is taking so much space.

If you see an element too large which should not be there, try and delete it (after you now .gitignore it, but it would still be part of your past commit history)

For that, use git filter-repo (that I mentioned here).

Install it first. (python3 -m pip install --user git-filter-repo)

Then, for example:

git filter-repo --strip-blobs-bigger-than 10M
