I recently had to clone a very large repository through SSH, every time i did i got this error
Cloning into 'large-repository'... remote: Counting objects: 20248, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (10204/10204), done. error: RPC failed; curl 18 transfer closed with outstanding read data remaining fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly fatal: early EOF fatal: index-pack failed
I could be the connection is bad , i finally fixed by using the commands below:
$ git clone [email protected]:large-repository --depth 1 $ cd large-repository $ git fetch --unshallow
