I'm having a lot of trouble cloning a repository on a Mac and I need some troubleshooting tips. When I try to do VCS -> Checkout from Version Control -> Git, then type in the information for my repository, and then click clone, a progress bar starts loading. It gets about halfway, and then I get the following error message:

Clone failed
RPC failed; result=18, HTTP code = 200
The remote end hung up unexpectedly
early EOF
index-pack failed

I've read some other issues that seemed similar, but everyone else was using different tools than me and the solutions didn't seem applicable (though I could be wrong). Any ideas for how to troubleshoot this?

Edit: Different from the possible duplicate. I can do a git clone from the command line just fine. It just doesn't work when I try it from PyCharm.

    Does the same happen when you try to clone from command line using `git clone`? – nwinkler Jul 21 '15 at 15:18

I had this error and it seems like it happens because of a timeout. Go to File > Settings > Version Control > GitHub. Increase the connection timeout value. I did 50,000ms, but I picked that value arbitrarily. Then retry, if it fails put it as high as you can go and try again. It worked for me.
