Git (not 101)

Troubleshooting

git pull stuck at "Receiving objects"/"Unpacking objects"

git fsck && git gc --prune=now

Or if on Windows 11:

git config --global core.sshCommand "C:/Windows/System32/OpenSSH/ssh.exe"

i.e. use the built-in ssh.exe instead of the one packaged with Git for Windows.

Also see gpg - trouble shooting chapter for gpg signing related issues.

Basically, things shipped with Git for Windows are evil, always consider using the system default / your customed download!
