Git commands break my Internet connection at home

Question

My mac is running masos yosemite.

When I use git pull or git push, the Internet connection at my home will suddenly break. I cannot ping google.com from any computers. Usually, the connection will be restored by itself after a minute.

This only happens when my computer is using wifi. When my mac uses an ethernet connection, git pull and git push work fine.

Additionally, this only happens with bitbucket. Git pull from github.com works without any problems.

Please help me out. Thanks!

Thank you very much, Andre.

Sorry about replying you back late.

I tried what you mentioned and it didn't help me. Today, I finally resolved it using this command:

git config sendpack.sideband false

Hi Cuixu,

Is there a large difference in size between the repositories that you are working on in Bitbucket versus the ones in Github? Are you able to actually pull and push or does it fail?

From what you described it seems that your WiFi connection could be weak or that your router could be the culprit. Can you try a option + left click on the wifi icon on your Mac to check the connection stats? Would it be possible to test using a different router?
