Failed to connect to github 443

Question

I tried to push some changes to github using git push origin master, but after some time it showed an error

fatal: unable to access \'https://gi         


        

Answer 1

The reason is continuous DDoS attack ... https://status.github.com/messages

Answer 2

From here: GitHub - failed to connect to github 443 windows/ Failed to connect to gitHub - No Error

git config --global http.proxy http[s]://userName:password@proxyaddress:port

Where port might be 3128 and userName:password might be your windows login credentials

Answer 3

Try to configure the environment by using:

sudo vim.tiny /etc/environment

Add there:

http_proxy=http://your.proxy.server.address:port
https_proxy=http://your.proxy.server.address:port
ftp_proxy=http://your.proxy.server.address:port

Add proxy setup in the gitconfig file also.

Answer 4

Are you behind a proxy? Check content of C:\Users\[your username]\.gitconfig and make sure proxy is configured:

[http]  
    proxy = http://yourproxy.com:8080  //change your settings here
[https] 
    proxy = http://yourproxy.com:8080  //change your settings here
