fatal: early EOF fatal: index-pack failed

Question

I have googled and found many solutions but none work for me.

I am trying to clone from one machine by connecting to the remote server which is in the LAN network.

As @ingyhere said:

Shallow Clone

First, turn off compression:

git config --global core.compression 0

Next, let's do a partial clone to truncate the amount of info coming down:

git clone --depth 1 

When that works, go into the new directory and retrieve the rest of the clone:

git fetch --unshallow

or, alternately,

git fetch --depth=2147483647

Now, do a pull:

git pull --all

---

Then to solve the problem of your local branch only tracking master

open your git config file (.git/config) in the editor of your choice

where it says:

[remote "origin"]
    url=
    fetch = +refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master

change the line

fetch = +refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master

to

fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

Do a git fetch and git will pull all your remote branches now
