ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Connectio

Question

I am under a proxy and I am pushing in to git successfully for quite a while.
Now I am not able to push into git all of a sudden.
I have set the RSA key and the proxy and double checked them, with no avail and git is throwing me the error shown in the title of the page.

Answer 1

Quick workaround: try switching to a different network

I experienced this problem while on a hotspot (3/4G connection). Switching to a different connection (WiFi) resolved it, but it's just a workaround - I didn't get the chance to get to the bottom of the issue so the other answers might be more interesting to determine the underlying issue

Answer 2

Basic URL Rewriting

Git provides a way to rewrite URLs using git config. Simply issue the following command:

git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://

Now, as if by magic, all git commands will perform a substitution of git:// to https://

source: git:// protocol blocked by company, how can I get around that?

Answer 3

The reason could be the firewall modification as you are under a network.(In which case they may deliberately block some ports)
To double check if this is the reason ... do

ssh -T [e-mail]

this should timeout. If that's the case use http protocol instead of ssh this way
just change your url in the config file to http.
Here is how :-

git config --local -e

change entry of

 url = [e-mail]:username/repo.git

to

url = https://github.com/username/repo.git

Answer 4

For people coming to this page from Google. For my case none of the suggested solutions worked so I tried to fix it myself and I got it resolved.

For me I am getting this error on my AWS EC2 UBUNTU instance, what I did to resolve it was to edit the git config.

sudo nano ~/.ssh/config

And I added the following

Host github.com
 Hostname ssh.github.com
 Port 443

Then, run the command ssh -T [e-mail] to confirm if the issue is fixed.

Hopefully this helps anyone else who's having the same issue I did.

Answer 5

I was having this same issue, but the answer I found was different, thought someone might come across this issue, so here is my solution.

I had to whitelist 2 IPs for port 22, 80, 443, and 9418:

• 192.30.252.0/22

• 185.199.108.0/22

In case these IP's don't work, it might be because they got updated, you can find the most current ones on this page.

Answer 6

Execute:

nc -v -z <git-repository> <port>

Your output should look like:

"Connection to <git-repository> <port> port [tcp/*] succeeded!"

If you get:

connect to <git-repository> <port> (tcp) failed: Connection timed out

You need to edit your ~/.ssh/config file. Add something like the following:

Host example.com
Port 1234
