TotoiseHG: existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

I wanted to push a project from TortoiseHg to GitHub . I know that TortoiseHg is the interface for the Mercurial distributed version control system; where github works with git. But I like to use TortoiseHg (instead of TortoiseGit or GitGui) and want to save my project in GitHub.

So, I set up TortoiseHg (File> Settings> Extensions> hggit) and was able to push the test project to GitHub (after this wonderful blog). But later, when I tried to shift the C # MVC project with him, the situation changed. It starts pushing nicely, then asks for authentication, and then shows this error -

An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.

Here is what the magazine shows -

% hg push git+https://github.com/MinhasKamal/MVCPracticeWork pushing to git+https://github.com/MinhasKamal/MVCPracticeWork http authorization required for https://github.com/MinhasKamal/MVCPracticeWork/info/refs realm: GitHub searching for changes adding objects URLError: [Errno 10054] An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host [command returned code 255 Thu Feb 04 16:17:02 2016]

I do not understand why this error occurs. Is this a GitHub or TortoiseHG issue, or did I do something wrong? How can this be solved?

Edit 1: I can click on the repository, but only by “not adding” some specific directories to my repository . Is this any type of file or name that makes this error?

Edit 2: The problem happened to me again, this time with a Java project. Everything was fine until I added the * .jar file to the repository. I made a commit, but when I tried to push it on GitHub, TortoiseHg showed me the same message. I deleted * .jar, did and tried to click again, but could not.

Now I did it again (Edit 1) - I pulled the entire repository from GitHub to another folder, replaced the changed files from the current repository on my PC (did not add * .jar), committed, and pushed; This time I was successful. So this time, the * jar file was not added to the version control database, so it worked.

So far, after many comments, it seems that some types of binary files (e.g. * .jar, * .mp3, etc., but not * .png) are problematic:

  • Not the file size (although the file is really large , this will also be a problem, but it is not here)
  • not its extension (adds OP "I had a photo and I renamed it *.jar and it worked")

To preserve similar end-user experience, the test should be to install TortoiseGit and see if pressing git will work in the classic git cloning repository.

  • I do not see any clicks on MinhasKamal/MVCPracticeWork : This repository is empty.
  • You can automate the pushing process (without manual labor, without timeouts, without input errors) using the [auth] section in the .hgrc of this repo (define the username and password in it)
  • At least some initial test clicks will perform better in a pure CLI (more informative and readable output).

There is a problem with Github if you are trying to add a super large file to any repo. Although I do not know if this was a problem.

I had a change to commit with both HG and Git on my Mac and try to push it on github. Git showed me that the file was too large when I ran git push , but HG only showed that the click failed.

If your .jar or any file you added caused a problem, you can check if the file size exceeds the limit (from github) and this

This problem only occurs when using the HTTPS protocol. If you use SSH instead (which is inconvenient, but nevertheless possible on Windows), then the click will succeed.

See https://www.mercurial-scm.org/pipermail/mercurial/2017-March/050304.html for more details. I suggest reading the entire stream, only six posts.
