Issue
I set up a Debian server that uses SSH for shell access and git repos. I created a bare repo on it and using ssh was able to clone it to my Windows 8 workstation, however when trying to push changes back to the Debian server I get the error depicted here:
Read from remote host 174.52.5.192: Connection reset by peer
fatal: sha1 file '<stdout>' write error: invalid argument
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
error: failed to push some refs to '[email protected]:/home/git/repos/space-junk.git/'
I use this work station regularly for shell access to the same server via SSH so I know inability to access SSH isn't the problem.
Does anyone have any idea what's going wrong?
Solution
Actually, the first push should be:
git push -u origin master
That will link the local branch master to its remote tracking one origin/master
Then, after that first push, you will be able (for all the subsequent push) to do a simple:
git push
See more at "Why do I need to explicitly push a new branch?".
