git flow installer fails to install shFlags on the Mac OS X 10.8.3 - installation

Tried this several times including nuking the previous download and manually getting the submodule. Does anyone have a workaround?

It looks like it may just be a temporary connection issue (though it's unusual that you were able to manually get the submodule but the script couldn't do it). The make-less installer appeared to work fine on my Mac OS 10.8.3 system. The make-less installer isn't doing much, you can run the steps yourself to install it-
git clone https://github.com/nvie/gitflow.git
cd gitflow
git submodule init
git submodule update
sudo make install

pack has bad object at offset 152904485

I'm trying to clone a repository on Gitlab with the command:
git clone git#gitlab.com:company/folder/project.git
And every time I get this output:
remote: Enumerating objects: 3860, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (482/482), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (360/360), done.
fatal: pack has bad object at offset 152904485: inflate returned 1
fatal: fetch-pack: invalid index-pack output
The thing is, it happens only on my machine, I tested the exact same command accessing a linux machine remotely through ssh and it works just fine. Also, it's relevant to mention that I'm using git on Windows 11. How can I solve this?
As in this thread, start checking the protocol used:
git -c protocol.version=1 git#gitlab.com:company/folder/project.git
As bit as in this gist, you could try an incremental clone, using a shallow clone (--depth)
REPO=$1
DIR=$2
git clone --recurse-submodules $REPO $DIR --depth=1
cd $DIR
git config remote.origin.fetch "+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*"
git fetch --depth=10
git fetch --depth=100
...
Another approach, clone up to the problematic commit: (--shallow-exclude=<revision>)
git clone --shallow-exclude=anOlCommit
There is a patch in progress around index-pack (June 2022), about unpacking large object in a stream.
The OP Otávio Augusto Silva confirms in the comments:
It didn't worked on Windows 11 cmd but it worked on WSL2 (Ubuntu)
And since Git can be installed on Windows AND on WSL, that could be a valid workaround.

Windows Luarocks install permission error

I have been trying for two weeks to install lua 5.1 and luarocks on windows. Please help.
What i have:
Downloaded MinGw
Installed Lua 5.1. I downloaded sources from official site and compiled with MinGw
Downloaded binary luarocks file.
Installed binary files in variable PATH
Windows terminal with admin privileges
If i tried to run next command
luarocks --lua-version=5.1 install luasql-mysql MYSQL_DIR="c:/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Server 8.0"
I will get error

I tried to compile luarocks from source and also got access error. What am I doing wrong?
Possible answer found here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/38534015/3342050
"I was able to install it from source on github (keplerproject/luasql) by modifying the config file. Lua 5.2 was hard-coded in the config file, but I'm running 5.1."

Can't clone repository with git on windows

I try to checkout repository on Windows 7 machine with git.exe:

You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status'

fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
What can I do here? I tried git config --system core.longpaths true advice, but it doesn't help. Any other recipes? Failed folder doesn't seem to contain any ugly characters if I look at it in bitbucket and has only one child folder:
node_modules / console-stamp / node_modules / dateformat / node_modules / meow / node_modules / normalize-package-data / node_modules / validate-npm-package-license / node_modules / spdx-correct / node_modules / spdx-license-ids /
Thanx for any ideas.
Upgrading to git version 2.12.2.windows.2 solved the problem for me, since this bug was fixed only recently.

Fail to clone repository with git lfs

My repo uses git lfs. For a fresh clone, I ran:
git lfs install
git clone https://example.com/repo.git
The clone gets to the point where it starts downloading lfs files, gets to some file and then fails. The file at which it fails is different each time I attempt to clone. Very occasionally it succeeds.
Here is the output:
Cloning into 'repo'...

If I try git lfs pull at this point, everything works fine.
Any idea what could be causing this failure to download the lfs files?
I had the similar issue and there was already a bug reported with git lfs. While the bug was being resolved, this workaround helped me, where you skip the filter where it was failing.
// Skip smudge - We'll download binary files later in a faster batch
git lfs install --skip-smudge
// Do git clone here
git clone ...
// Fetch all the binary files in the new clone
git lfs pull
// Reinstate smudge
git lfs install --force
Credits: #strich
Try to do git lfs pull from GitBash.
It looks like the commandprompt isn't showing pass key popup, which is necessary for git lfs to work.
Git config settings
git config --global http.sslVerify true
git config --global http.sslBackend schannel
This worked for me

Git (Windows) - cannot create file on clone. Works as Superuser

I'm using Windows 8, 64bit - I recently installed Git to use it on this computer. However, it is not possible to clone any repository. It exits with the message:
$ git clone ssh://me#some.address.com/some/git/repository.git
Cloning into 'repository'...
error: Unable to create c:/Users/Danyel/workspace/repository/.git/HEAD
When I open cmd as Administrator and try the same command, it succeeds (cmd as normal user fails just like with Git Bash):
C:\Users\Danyel\workspace>git clone ssh://me#some.address.com/some/git/repository.git
Cloning into 'repository'...

I'm using this version of Git: Git-1.8.4-preview20130916
Any help or clues are welcome! I have checked for the permissions and have ownership in parent folders ("repository", ".git"). What else can it be??
Edit:
The GIT_TRACE option did not give any clue about it either:
$ GIT_TRACE=2 git clone ssh://me#some.address.com/some/git/repository.git
trace: built-in: git 'clone' 'ssh://me#some.address.com/some/git/repository.git'
Cloning into 'repository'...
error: Unable to create c:/Users/Danyel/Desktop/repository/.git/HEAD
As illustrated in this thread, that kind of error message only happens when one of the parent folders is a symlink.
Check if you can clone it in another path (C:\ or C:/Users/Danyel).
But I suspect that Desktop\workspace is a symlink, and as such, not very compatible with a cloned repo path (because that would un-symlink that path, which might not be compatible with other apps/process using that same path).
The only other instance of that issue is related to a path-length limit.
