@harisferoz-centric sorry to hear you're having trouble.

Network issues are tricky to diagnose, and there isn't much we can do from our end about them since the underlying Git operations are failing. Some users have had success running the following config option:

git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000

There are also some HTTP timeout config operations that may help, or at lease provide additional diagnosis about the timeout. One user previously had success with these commands:

git config --global http.lowSpeedLimit 1000
git config --global http.lowSpeedTime 20

The lowSpeedLimit configures the minimum bytes per second, and the lowSpeedTime is the number of seconds. If the operation is lower than that threshold for the set time it will timeout. Adjusting those values may help with timeouts.

If neither of those suggestions work it may be worth trying to set up a SSH key, which some users have had more success with when encountering network issues. You could then switch the remote URL to use SSH in GitHub Desktop by going to Repository > Repository Settings > Remote.

I'm going to close this out as there isn't anything we can do from our end to resolve this, but if you have any further questions let me know.
