git push origin hangs after the total message

Question

After executing git push origin master on github, the push hangs and nothing happens. I'm using https://username@github.com . At first I had the error first that the http.postbuffer is too small and i changed it to http.postbuffer=209715200 . Now it hangs after the Total line:

Counting objects: 203, done.
Delta compression using up to 2 threads.
Compressing objects: 100% (197/197), done.
Writing objects: 100% (201/201), 49.41 MiB | 11.07 MiB/s, done.
Total 201 (delta 37), reused 0 (delta 0)

EDIT: There are no proxies involved

Answer 1

You may have to wait for it to finish. There is no progress bar so it looks like it's stopped but it hasn't.

Answer 2

In my case, it was a permission issue on the remote repository. Once I "chowned" the remote repo directory, the push finished.

Answer 3

I have had a similar problem as you before.

Have a look at my resolved stackoverflow question in case it may help: sending a large file with SCP to a certain server stalls at exactly 2112 kB
