Git rpc failed with http code 411

Twice in the last 2 weeks I’ve faced an annoying size limit issue when pushing to an https Git repository.

Counting objects: 2935, done.
Delta compression using up to 4 threads.
Compressing objects: 100% (2570/2570), done.
error: RPC failed; result=22, HTTP code = 411
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
Writing objects: 100% (2933/2933), 3.44 MiB | 955.00 KiB/s, done.
Total 2933 (delta 1205), reused 0 (delta 0)
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

The fix is quite simple: open .git/config on your project’s root directory and add the [http] section below:

	[core]
	repositoryformatversion = 0
	filemode = true
	bare = false
	logallrefupdates = true
	ignorecase = true
	precomposeunicode = false
	[remote "origin"]
	url = https://iamnotyou@bitbucket.org/iamnotyou/le-large-projet.git
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	[branch "master"]
	remote = origin
	merge = refs/heads/master
	[http]
	postBuffer = 524288000
