I have tried by increasing the buffer size to the largest individual file size of my repository as below. but issue is still there.

git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000

Thank you.

Hello,

What you get it could be related to the proxy_read_timeout of nginx (or any other similar configuration of the proxy in front of Bitbucket). Since you're uploading a large repository BB takes a while to create the pack file on the server without notifying the client. The proxy will close the connection after the timeout but normally you should find what had been uploaded on the server. If it's the case you should open a ticket to the support team to increase this timeout.

Hope it helps.

Cheers,
Ahmed.
