Homebrew Install: Failed During: Git Fetch Origin Master:Refs/Remotes/Origin/Master -N --Depth=1

Homebrew install: Failed during: git fetch origin master:refs/remotes/origin/master -n --depth=1

After a few hours of research and brute force I learned the issue was due to git not being configured properly. Some articles suggested downgrading your git or reinstalling all together. However, I resolved the issue just by adding the following

git config --global user.email yourgitemail@example.com

Then remove the cellar and homebrew directories from /usr/local and re-try the installation.

First time homebrew installation failure

delete this file

/usr/local/Homebrew/.git/refs/remotes/origin/master.lock

try

rm -f /usr/local/Homebrew/.git/refs/remotes/origin/master.lock

and then try again

This is more of github checkout issue rather than Homebrew issue, checkout this suggestion:

It might be your network issue. If the network is too slow, then it might disconnect connection unexpectedly.

If you are having a good internet and still getting this message then it might be an issue with post buffer. You can resolve it by executing the following command in your cmd.

git config --global http.postBuffer 157286400
