I am using git over hamachi vpn and am able to clone the remote repository.

However, git pull/fetch fails after hanging for a long time. The error message displayed is:

Write failed: Broken pipe                                                                                      
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Can anyone guess whats happening?

  • Did you use the git protocol to clone the repository? It may be worth it to try and use https:// instead of git:// and see if that works. I believe git:// defaults to using SSH and something in your configuration may be blocking that port.

  • That is weird. Maybe the SSH keys are corrupted or incorrect. When you SSH does it automatically log you in, or do you have to authenticate every time? Also, I'd still be interested to know if you clone the repository via https:// instead of git:// if you still have issues doing push/pull.

Git push fails with 

fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

If, when attempting git push, you get a message that says:

fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

There are a couple of reasons for that, but the most common is that authorization failed. You might be using a git:// URL to push, which has no authorization whatsoever and hence has write access disabled by default. Or you might be using an ssh URL, but either your public key was not installed correctly, or your account does not have write access to that repository/branch.

I had the same problem and resolved it with this command:

echo 1400 > /sys/class/net/eth0/mtu
