The GitKraken commit graph was designed to make navigating your commit history as easy as possible, and does so by not only looking good, but by improving many readability issues found in other Git. The GitKraken Git GUI is like no other tool of its kind on the market for many reasons, but this is a big one. No other Git clients offer robust integrations with the most popular issue trackers used by software developers and teams. The GitKraken Git GUI integrates with the following issue trackers: Jira Cloud/Server; GitKraken Boards.
I am trying to push changes to my branch using the GitKraken GUI. This is something I do commonly without error. However, when I went to push, it gave me a pop up saying “Your OAuth token for ‘Gitlab’ is invalid. Would you like to refresh your OAuth credentials or try again without OAuth?” and presents the following three options:
- Refresh Token
- Retry without OAuth
- Cancel
Refresh Token takes me to a GitKraken page in the browser, which indicated that I was authenticated and the system would work. I checked inside GitKraken, and I am authenticated. I also regenerated an SSH key. However, it keeps giving me this pop up no matter how many times I re-authorize.
Retry without OAuth gives me an error saying “Push Failed: failed to write chunk header: The server returned an invalid or unrecognized response”
I logged out of gitlab and back in, and after exiting and reopening GitKraken, it continues to say I am not connected. After reauthorizing again, it says that I am connected.
Most of the work you do in GitKraken is using the local repository, meaning the files and changes are saved on your local machine. You can easily identify any.
How can I fix this error?
Thank you
