Git hangs while writing objects

Question

I\'m trying to git push -u origin master And it just hangs at

Writing objects:  99% (219/220), 12.65 MiB | 97 KiB/s

Answer 1

In my case, I was using a git folder with bad rights stored on the same drive as a repo, but it could be the same with ssh even if you use an authorized login user.

Check then if you have correct rights to write on the distant repo.

Example:

Init local and distant repo

git init /tmp/src
git init --bare /tmp/dst
cd /tmp/src

Adding remote repo to origin

src > git remote add dest /tmp/dst

Simulating problem

src > chmod -R 555 /tmp/dst

Adding fake file and pushing it

src > touch a && git add a && git commit -m 'demo'
src > git push --set-upstream dest master
src > git push
Counting objects: 3, done.
Writing objects: 99% (2/3), 202 bytes | 0 bytes/s.

Git hangs

Solution

src > chmod -R 775 /tmp/dst
