Hi @Pilar Marco

Welcome to the Atlassian community!

This appears to be a timeout rather than a permission issue. LFS objects uploaded, then GitHub or intermediary closed the connection while waiting for the receive-pack response, causing the 408.

Try switching the remote to SSH instead of HTTPS, as SSH handles long-lived pushes more reliably through corporate networks and proxies. If it still fails, try pushing from a different network, as a 408 often indicates a proxy or firewall ending an idle connection, not GitHub timing out.

Cheers, Martin
