The "index-pack died of signal 15" error in git usually occurs when there is a problem with the pack file during a git operation. This error is often caused by corrupted or incomplete pack files. Here are a few steps you can try to fix this error:

  1. Check for corrupted objects: Run the following command to check for any corrupted objects in your repository:
1
git fsck --full


If there are any corrupted objects, you can try to see if you can repair them using the git fsck --full --unreachable --lost-found command.

  1. Clean up your repository: You may have some unnecessary or unused objects in your repository that could be causing issues. Run the following command to clean up your repository:
1
git gc


This command will run the garbage collection process to cleanup unnecessary files and optimize the repository.

  1. Check for available disk space: Make sure that you have enough disk space available for the git operation. If the disk is full, it can cause errors like "index-pack died of signal 15".
  2. Try cloning the repository again: If the above steps do not work, you can try cloning the repository again. This will create a fresh copy of the repository without any corrupted or incomplete pack files.


If none of the above steps work, you may need to contact git support or consult the git documentation for further assistance.
