This fatal error shows up on github everytime I try to clone the project I tried to download it from the github website but still gets the same error, I have to find a solution because it takes 14-16hrs to download it and as soon is finished I try to open it a lot of files haven't got downloaded.
Please try connecting using ssh instead of using http to clone. Http is more prone for timeouts in case of large repositories.
Steps to generate SSH: https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent
Add the ssh to your github account and your local identity.
Then use clone command:
git clone git@github.com:your_org/your_repository.git
If the clone still fails, you can use following approach: Turn off compression:
git config --global core.compression 0
Start with shallow clone first with depth 1.
git clone --depth=1 <repo>
Once that is successful, you can incrementally pull more commit histories by
git fetch --depth=5
git fetch --depth=50
and so on. Finally run following to sync all remaining history.
git fetch --unshallow
