Hi, I ran the following command, but this message has displayed.
How can I fix it?

E:\Workspace\Blockchain>git clone https://github.com/substrate-developer-hub/substrate-node-template

Maybe this answer from SO will help you? git - fatal: early EOF fatal: index-pack failed - Stack Overflow

It's where I took the idea I mentioned earlier from:

Hi, Jonas.I tried the following: git - fatal: early EOF fatal: index-pack failed - Stack Overflow

git config --global core.compression 0
git clone --depth 1 <repo_URI>

It works for me. This is helpful.

git fetch --unshallow

But It doesn't work for me.
The same error displayed.

The second most upvoted answer of the same SO question is very popular as well. The solution according to this post suggests changing the git settings concerning memory usage by adding the following lines to your %userprofile%/.gitconfig file:

[core] 
packedGitLimit = 512m 
packedGitWindowSize = 512m 
[pack] 
deltaCacheSize = 2047m 
packSizeLimit = 2047m 
windowMemory = 2047m

Thank you for your kind explanation, Jonas.
But I have already tried all of git - fatal: early EOF fatal: index-pack failed - Stack Overflow
The results were same.

Thanks.

Are you using the official git: Git - Downloading Package or git bash: https://gitforwindows.org/? Also what version is your git installation? Maybe updating git to the latest version is all you need?

Well, I am using git bash: https://gitforwindows.org/ now.
My git version is git version 2.39.1.windows.1

Is there any problem?

Hmm no I don't think so. I'm just out of ideas. Someone with more git experience is needed to help you, I'm afraid.

I found more related questions where the answers suggest some networking/vpn/firewall/antivirus issues, maybe you'll find some answers there?
