Why does git pull hang?

Question

When I do a git pull, from the git bash, the terminal usually runs the pull, updates my local, and then hangs. I\'m not sure if it\'s waiting for me to do somet

Answer 1

Had same issue, which was related to my ssh client.

This was confirmed trying to connect to a remote ssh server with the '-v' (verbose) option

ssh -v -p PORTNUMBER USERNAME@SERVER

which gave rekey after XXXXXX blocks” before getting stuck.

apt-get purge and apt-get install didn't help, so - before facing the interestign approach here exposed at https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/280800 - I went for an easy reboot, which did the job.
