I finally managed to do it. I will update the procedure that I had taken in order to Just wanted to compile all the steps that I did to get it to work

Answer 1

I feel more than desperate after trying all the above solutions. Fortunately, I finally find a way to solve it strangely on github homepage.

Answer 2

Before you try the fancy stuff, try disabling the firewall and antivirus and see if it works. That was my problem.

Answer 3

ipconfig /renew - solved this issue for me.

Answer 4

(Not an answer, but a very similar problem) I have Git Gui installed on a Windows system behind a proxy. Issuing 'git clone' from a Linux virtual machine running on the Windows system works, but Git Gui yields the 443 error mentioned in the heading.

To fix this, one must edit %USERPROFILE%\.gitconfig to add an [http] section:

[http]
    postBuffer = 1000000000
    proxy = the.proxy.address:the.proxy.port
    sslcainfo = C:/Users/username/Documents/the.certificate.name.cer

Note that the path to the security certificate file has had its backslashes ('\') replaced by slashes ('/').

Answer 5

I got so:

git config --global http.proxy http://{domain}\\\{username}:{password}@{proxy ip}:{proxy port}

git config --global http.sslverify false

Answer 6

I am using Tortoise Git and simply going to Git in Settings and applying the same settings to Global. Apply and Ok. Worked for me.
