git fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly

I’m developing a new feature and it use an external framework. I have to replace the xcframework with new one whenever release.

I pushed it to branch first time. However soon I realized something was wrong. So I modified the commit and tried to push it force.

But the terminal emit this error.

Actually I use only Xcode and VSCode, therefore I should use terminal to force push, and I found this error is raised only on Terminal.

I googled about this issue and found a solution. It’s git buffer size setting. Maybe the reason was the larget size of the framework.

So I modified .gitconfig and set postBuffer to fix it.

[http]
        postBuffer = 524288000

If you don’t want change the config file. use this command

git config — global http.postBuffer 524288000

Conclusion

If you encounter this error,

git fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly

check if you commit large file or directory, and increase the buffer size using configuration setting.

Happy coding :)
