When trying to push commit to the git repository and there’s an error message like:

		
suandi@mtasuandi:/opt/lampp/htdocs/repos/repo$ git push origin master

Everything up-to-date

The error appear because git client try to send large amount of data. Increasing the post buffer limit for the git client can solve the issue.

Go to directory where you clone the git repository and then execute git config http.postBuffer 524288000.

Verify if the configuration is really updated:

		
suandi@mtasuandi:/opt/lampp/htdocs/repos/repo$ cat .git/config
[core]
  repositoryformatversion = 0
  filemode = true
  bare = false
  logallrefupdates = true
[remote "origin"]
  url = https://git.domain.com/repositories/repo/repo.git
  fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
  remote = origin
  merge = refs/heads/master
[http]
  postBuffer = 524288000
