Not able to clone large repo code on git
git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000
git clone repo_url --depth 1
I have followed above steps and finally I have successfully cloned my code.
That looks like a curl error, typical of a slow internet connection which closes too soon.
As seen here, try a shallow clone (or switch to ssh)
git clone https://[email protected]/weexcel1/higher-education-haryana.git --depth 1
Even then, as I documented in 2011, you might need to raise the http.postBuffer
git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000
But the idea remains: starting with one commit depth can help.
From there, you can gradually increase the depth:
git fetch --depth=<number-of-commits>
And, after a few iteration:
git fetch --unshallow
First, try to download a smaller amount, so that when the network fails, you don't have to start from zero:

First, turn off compression:
git config --global core.compression 0
Next, let's do a partial clone to truncate the amount of info coming down:
git clone --depth 1 <repo_URI>
When that works, go into the new directory and retrieve the rest of the clone:
git fetch --unshallow
or, alternately,
git fetch --depth=2147483647
Now, do a regular pull:
git pull --all
I think there is a glitch with msysgit in the 1.8.x versions that exacerbates these symptoms, so another option is to try with an earlier version of git (<= 1.8.3, I think).
If this does not help, because your network is still too unstable or your repo still too large, try a different network - best would be a wired.
For me, that was not an option. VonC's Answer states to do git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000
. Maybe you'll need to do git config --global https.postBuffer 524288000
instead, if you're using https.
Finally, what worked for me in the end:
Give up and use a different machine
If it works on your laptop, just pull that repo onto your laptop, then run
git bundle create /my/thumb/drive/myrepo.bundle --all
And restore it on your other machine with
git clone /my/thumb/drive/myrepo.bundle
