If you are pushing to a remote server with an ssh URL, double-check the .profile or .bashrc of the remote user.

If that resource file is echoing anything, that would be enough to trigger that protocol error.

Alternatively, if you can (if the remote server supports it), switch to https:

git remote set-url origin https://url/remote/repo
