I'm trying bitbucket server. All works except on one repository that is 1.4GB

Richard Parsons

when i try to clone a 1.4GB repository from Bitbucker server, I always get the error: fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly error: RPC failed; HTTP 500 curl 22 The requested URL returned error: 500

works fine with smaller repositories or if I clone to a depth of 200 on the large repository. Cloning to depth returns only main branch and attempts to fetch other branches at any depth fails with same error as above.

Hi @Richard Parsons,

Instead of using HTTP protocol to clone, I suggest you use SSH protocol. You can create a public key in git bash using below command :

ssh-keygen -t rsa

This would create an id_rsa.pub under .ssh folder in your user folder. Copy the public key and paste in under Manage account > SSH keys of your bitbucket account. This way you can authenticate via ssh easily and you wouldn`t find such issues like you found in HTTP.

Hope this helps
