Question

I am trying to run git from the command line on my Windows 7, 64 bit machine. It works fine for the most part. I tried pushing my local changes up to my private repository in the cloud.

The command I am trying to run is git push origin master

I use Cygwin 6.1 and it is causing the following error. Presumably related to the fact that I am running on a 64 bit machine

0 [main] git-remote-http 6168 fork: child -1 - died waiting for longjmp before initialization, retry 10, exit code 0xC0000135, errno 11 error: cannot fork() for send-pack: Resource temporarily unavailable

I followed the suggestions here to update my rebaseall file and reran the rebase command. But it didn’t really seem to have helped.

Can anyone else reproduce the problem or have found a solution?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Answer 1

The other alternative is to use the msysgit distribution, which will allows you to make any git command without depending on the cygwin environment.
