This error message indicates that the GitLab server was unable to process the request due to a payload size that exceeds the server’s limit. The HTTP 413 error code means “request entity too large” and it usually occurs when the payload size of an HTTP request exceeds the maximum size allowed by the server.
To resolve this issue, you can try the following solutions:
- Increase the maximum payload size in GitLab by modifying the nginx configuration file to allow larger payload sizes.
- Reduce the payload size of the request by splitting it into smaller parts or compressing the data.
- Use Git LFS (Large File Storage) to store large files separately from regular Git repositories.
- Contact your GitLab administrator or hosting provider for assistance if you don’t have access to the server configuration.
