Error "bad line length 8192iB" when use git push

I use Visual Studio Team Services and git to store my source codes.

My game has big files. I save my game code in Visual Studio Team Services and didn't get an error. But recently, I add more big files and the problem begins to appear.

When I use git push I receive the following error:

F:\Games\BarbarianSouls_v2>git push
Counting objects: 19464, done.
Delta compression using up to 4 threads.
Compressing objects: 100% (19457/19457), done.
fatal: protocol error: bad line length 8192iB | 3.24 MiB/s
fatal: sha1 file '<stdout>' write error: Broken pipe
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://gitlab.com/fabiobh/barbarian_souls.git'

The project have more than 10gb, I don't know if this can affect the repository, VSTS repositories don't have limit size according to Microsoft.

I try to use the code below

git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000

But it didn't work, the upload stops when is showing 492mb, then I try to use the following code:

git config --global http.postBuffer 7242880000

But I got the first error:

fatal: protocol error: bad line length 8192iB

How I can get rid of this error?

In case your push consists of multiple commits, you might try to push commits in smaller batches, instead of a big push containing them all. Worked for me when I got this

fatal: protocol error: bad line length 8192

message. Example:

git push origin <commit hash>:master
