Unable to connect to git remote repository

Question

After performing git push -u origin master, I got:

fatal: unable to access \'https://github.com/xxxx/xxxx.git         


        

Answer 1

Laurent's answer worked for me. (I am behind corporate firewall.) In my case,

• I removed the proxy setting in .gitconfig file.

• Everything just work fine. I can clone from a remote repo.

• When i wanted to push to the remote repo, I generated a ssh key. Then I am able to push.

Hope it saves someones 2 hours.
