Git, fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly


When I tried to run

git push origin master --force

I just got

Counting objects: 2649, done.
Delta compression uses up to 2 threads.
Compressing objects: 100% (1280/1280), done.
error: RPC failed; result=22, HTTP code = 413 | 116 KiB/s

fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
Everything up-to-date

Is it something to do with not being secure? I tried creating a public key as the answer for Fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly and rerunning it, but it still doesn't work. Am I not actually using the key? If so, how do I use it?


Solution

  • This looks similar to How do I get github to default to ssh and not https for new repositories. Probably it's worth trying to switch from http protocol to ssh:

    $ git remote add origin git@github.com:username/project.git
