Hey Ruma,

Let's try to help you out here as I've seem some other users with the same issue.

In the past, I've seem below command being ran by the user received the error while trying to clone and it got resolved.

• Let's try to resolve the issue by increasing buffer:

  git config --global http.postBuffer 52428800

• Turn off the compression

  git config --global core.compression 0
  

• Try the workaround here:

  $ git clone https://innersource.%2A.com/*repoName.git --depth 1
  $ cd repository
  $ git fetch --unshallow

Please let me know if that was helpful and if it resolved it :)
