Hello Chaitra and welcome to the Community!

Thank you for providing information about how you’re using the product along with the error you see when the issue occurs.

To clarify, you’re having this issue on the Bitbucket cloud product, and the error is prompted locally on your end. With this said, there is a StackOverflow thread which covers this same error and event. You may find the reference thread here at StackOverFlow | fatal: early EOF fatal: index-pack failed which explains to do the following:

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 <repo_URI>

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 regular pull:

git pull --all

I think there is a glitch with msysgit in the 1.8.x versions that exacerbates these symptoms, so another option is to try with an earlier version of git (<= 1.8.3, I think).

Additionally, if your using Bitbucket server you may want to review Git Clone Fails - fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly. fatal: early EOF fatal: index-pack failed which covers the error message you have for the server products.

Please let us know if either of these assisted with resolving the issue or if your error is still present.
