Situation
I'm using linux (mint mate 17.2), when push to github via ssh, from time to time connection fails, usually it resume after reboot computer & network. After several days, it might become bad again, quite confusing.
Push via http never has such issue, but it requires password which is not convenient.
Debug info
When push via ssh:
debug1: Connecting to github.com [192.30.252.129] port 22.
It stuck at the above line.
Then after a long wait, get timeout tip:
debug1: connect to address 192.30.252.129 port 22: Connection timed out
ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Connection timed out
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Questions:
What could be the reason, how to fix that?
More debug info:
ping is good:
eric@eric-pc:~$ ping 192.30.252.129

@Update:
I setup another computer in the same network, with the same ssh key, it succeed to push to github via ssh, while the original computer still get timeout.
Actions:
Restart the network, it still can't connect.
Restart the ssh-agent, it still can't connect, the old process become a defunct ssh-agent process, while there is a new ssh-agent:
eric 2552 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Zs Jan08 0:00 [ssh-agent] eric 27080 0.0 0.0 10628 316 ? Ss 15:26 0:00 ssh-agent eric 27168 0.0 0.0 17028 2548 pts/7 S+ 15:27 0:00 grep --color=auto ssh-agent
- Reboot linux, then ssh works,
Guess:
- ssh-agent has issue,
- github blocked my client due to some reason,
Actually, before ask, from google, I saw similar question, but none solved the issue, and none explained the reason.
And this issue is really annoying, because I don't want to input password every time push, and also don't want to reboot my pc from time to time, any help?
