GIT error while push: error: RPC failed; result=7, HTTP code = 401

Question

While I trying to push some commits to remote server, I get this response (after waiting about 5 minutes):

git.exe push --progress "origin" events_devel:events_devel

Everything up-to-date

I was try this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/6849424, but same result. Remote server not GitHub... its the corporate server. Pulling works as it should.

Yes, we are VPN link. But as I said, pulling is OK. I forgot to write that I pushing 0.5 MB file and other small source files. — Pody01, Jul 30 '15 at 09:08
is the `origin` remote using the `ssh://` or the `http://` protocol? — Thomasleveil, Jul 30 '15 at 09:09
if you can, try with `ssh://` and if it works, then you know you have to focus your efforts on the http protocol — Thomasleveil, Jul 30 '15 at 09:22

There is a problem with the stable Git for Windows (1.9.5) for updating using http and windows or basic auth.

Try to upgrade to the 2.4.6-release candidate version. You can find it here

This is most likely some network issue on the remote side.

Try using different protocol instead, such as ssh.

To debug the issue, you can specify some extra variables for git command, e.g.

GIT_TRACE=1 GIT_TRACE_PACK_ACCESS=1 GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 GIT_TRACE_CURL=1 GIT_TRACE_PACKET=1 git push --progress origin

For SSH issues, try:

echo 'ssh -vvv $*' > ssh && chmod +x ssh
GIT_SSH="$PWD/ssh" git push --progress origin

Or use strace to debug the process, e.g.

strace -f git push
