git clone failure: error: RPC failed; result=22, HTTP code = 504

[Ted Singh]

I am trying to clone a repo hosted on BigBucket to my BeagleBone Black derivative, currently running git v1.7.10.4. 

I consistently get the following error:

> git clone https://<myaccount>@bitbucket,org/<myrepo.git>

> Cloning into <myrepo> ...

> Password for https://<myaccount>@bitbucket.org:

error: RPC failed; result=22, HTTP code = 504
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

What would cause this error? Is this a compatibility issue with git or perhaps as the result of some configuration limitation?

This was because I was still using https to access my repo, once I switched my repo to support SSH, everything was good. I am now using SSH to access my repo from my developer account (Visual Studio/Windows) and my embedded device (Linux), and I am able to clone and pull code without issues.

The main thing is the remote URL. it should start with "ssh://" instead of "https://". Depending on the host, other parts of the URL might change, too.

According to the HTTP specification, 504 is returned when "The server was acting as a gateway or proxy and did not receive a timely response from the upstream server." In general, 504 is caused due to slow network. 

As workaround, try to setup your ~/.ssh/config with the following:

Host *

    ServerAliveInterval 120

To get more details about the error, set GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1

Do you have some sort of proxy server that could be timing out?
