git push: fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly Connection to github.com closed by remote host

I'm using ssh and RSA keys to access github, but it doesn't work when I push files to the repository.

somename54@THISPC:~/repos/homework-1-name54$ git push

How can I fix this?

Solution

  • I found out that the this error usually happens when your files are too big. But my files were not, and I was able to push all of my other projects. Re-cloning into a separate directory helped, but it did not fix the original issue.
