Unpacker error when pushing Git

Im using GIT more and more on my own personal projects but as a single developer commiting I don't get many issues.

Then I get a weird unpacker error
$ git push origin main
Counting objects: 38, done.
Delta compression using up to 2 threads
Compressing objects: 100% (20/20), done.
Writing objects: 100% (20/20), 5.96 KiB, done.
Total 20 (delta 15), reused 0 (delta 0)

error: unpack-objects died of signal
error: unpack failed: unpack-objects abnormal exit
To /*******/*********/*******/***********.git
 ! [remote rejected] main -> main (n/a (unpacker error))

The fix is simple.

$git repack remote/origin/main
