Network Connection Issues 1. Network Connection Issues When Git Push seems slow or freezes, the quality of your internet connection is often the culprit. An unstable or weak connection can significantly slow down the transfer, especially when the repository contains many files. Additionally, some firewalls or proxy servers can impede communication between Git and hosting platforms like GitHub or GitLab. 2. Repository Size and Content A large repository or one containing binary files (images, videos, etc.) can slow down Git operations. The absence of a properly configured .gitignore file sometimes results in unnecessary files being tracked, increasing the repository size and slowing down commands. 3. Authentication Method The type of connection used also influences performance. Using HTTPS with a password can be slower than an SSH connection. Additionally, issues with access tokens or misconfigured SSH keys can cause freezes during pushes.
