Can't push to github a specific commit that added PNG Images

Question

Problem:

Can't push to github a specific commit that added PNG Images

In git bash CLI, on Windows, git push origin master gets stuck on Total 23 (delta 1), reused 0 (delta 0), when I try push the response PNG images I added to the Online Portfolio Project for the Web Dev Front-End Nanodegree.

I tried what people suggested on several forums, by running on the CLI: git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000. It doesn't work..

Then, after git add <all image files> I had to change the permissions to 100755, with with git update-index --chmod=+x *, on the images folder, because otherwise they would be set to create mode 100644 when I would commit the files. After I did that, all the image files finally were indexed by the commit as create mode 100755 images/img-xxxxxxxxxxx.png, each.

Even after that, when i tried pushing the changes to the remote, it would still get stuck at Total 23 (delta 1), reused 0 (delta 0). But this time I went to sleep and, in the morning, there was the following answer on Bash CLI:

$ git push Enumerating objects: 25, done. Counting objects: 100% (25/25), done. Delta compression using up to 4 threads Compressing objects: 100% (23/23), done. Writing objects: 100% (23/23), 3.98 MiB | 16.28 MiB/s, done. Total 23 (delta 1), reused 0 (delta 0) error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/ricardobossan/portfolio.git'

But this time most of the commits were actually pushed to the remote, except that the PNG images still were not there, which is really frustrating.

And, worst of all, I still get stuck on the same message when I try to push changes: Total 23 (delta 1), reused 0 (delta 0)..

Can anybody please help? I don't know what else to do.

What version of Git are you using? Can you try with the latest one? (2.20) — VonC, Dec 12 '18 at 06:07

Depending on the version of Git, it could be related to how Git is pushing.
Since it has changed in recent version (with the introduction of Git wire protocol v2), it pays to try and upgrade to the latest version.

Namely the Git for Windows 2.20, with (for instance) the PortableGit-2.20.0-64-bit.7z.exe archive that you can uncompress anywhere you want, and add to your PATH.
