Gitlab error push files 413 Request Entity Too Large

Question

I have a problem with GIT when I attempt to push my files, this is what happens :

$ git push -u origin dev
Counting objects: 586, done.
Delta compression using up to 2 threads.
Compressing objects: 100% (506/506), done.
Writing objects: 100% (586/586), 36.81 MiB | 1.58 MiB/s, done.
Total 586 (delta 267), reused 40 (delta 29)
error: RPC failed; HTTP 413 curl 22 The requested URL returned error: 413 Request Entity Too Large
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
Everything up-to-date

I've already done :

git config http.postBuffer 524288000,

so that doesn't solve my poblem ! I found that the solution is to modify nginx config but am not using nginx .. I am working on Windows 10 and I don't see where should I increase the value of client_max_body_size !! Have you any idea about this problem on windows ?

Answer 1

You got this error because the size limit on GitLab side is too low.

Login to GitLab with admin account and change these below values under Settings / General / Account and limit:

• Maximum attachment size (MB)
• Maximum import size (MB)

and save changes. It will fix this issue.
