Every time I see ‘fatal’ I think of a Mortal Kombat (🤩Raiden)
fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly. Connection to github[dot]com closed by remote host.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.
FATALITY (said in Mortal Kombat tone, obviously)
Then, of course, troubleshooting commences.
Test connection:
ssh -T git[at]github[dot]comHi [your-username]! You've successfully authenticated…
If this fails or hangs forevs you’ll know there’s an SSH issue.
Check VPN/Internet:
Disconnect VPN and try another ‘push’ Check Internet hasn’t pooped out, swap network or try a hotspot
The latter was actually my issue. The internet apparently decides to sometimes take a nap late evenings/early mornings. At first, I didn't realize this was my issue and thought something happened to the keys or I don’t know… not my internet! 😅 (thank you, hotspot).
This was a good reminder to push frequently. I had added/committed, but hadn’t pushed anything up to that point. This isn’t something I do so not sure why I randomly started collecting commits, but not letting them ‘leave the nest’ 😅 – Happy to report this is no longer the case and have not encountered these (prepare Mortal Kombat tone here) fatality type errors as of late.
“Fun Fact”: watching the Panthers vs Oilers game tonight (Go Panthers!), that 5th goal had me thinking it may turn out to be a FLAWLESS VICTORY 😁 – it was not meant to be (5-1), but it did prompt this train of thought– Mortal Kombat > fatality > fatal > post.
