I am trying to push *.sql which is around 4Gb.

Can you help me get over this issue? Is there any limitation on the file size in the repository?

@Mangesh Chougule 

Are you pushing to a bitbucket server? If yes, than

describes the problem (that the bitbucket server does not have enough memory available)

Hi Kurt,

Thanks for the quick response!

I'm trying to push to a git server.

Please help for the same.

@Mangesh Chougule 

Does git server mean bitbucket server?

If yes, than you could modify the startup script and change the setting for the maximum heap usable by bitbucket

Hi Mangesh

you should check the client settings and adjust them accordingly

try increasing the packSizeLimit (the values might need to be higher than 1000m for you)

git config --global pack.windowMemory "1000m"
git config --global pack.packSizeLimit "1000m"
git config --global pack.threads "1"

Repacking the commit again

git repack -a -f -d

and try it again

Cheers

Thanks Kurt,

This needs to run in my client machine?

[Kurt Klinner]

@Mangesh Chougule 

Hi Mangesh

yes on the client machine

Cheers

[Mangesh Chougule]

git config --global pack.windowMemory "1000m"
git config --global pack.packSizeLimit "1000m"

@Mangesh Chougule 

This is something that you might need to figure out bye yourself. Increasing it as needed

Cheers
