Hi@akhtar,

In your case buffer size of git is not sufficient in your system. So you can increase buffer size by exporting bellow environment variable.

export GIT_HTTP_MAX_REQUEST_BUFFER=500M

You can do that permanently for all, using the git config command.

git config --global http.postBuffer 5000000000

Hope this will help you.
