Connection timed out ERROR with git push

Posted on In ,

One solution proved to be able to repair “connection timed out” ERROR arising from git push command on windows system.

When trying to run the command git push -u origin master to add files into remote repository on github, I ran into the “Connection timed out” error and was solved eventually.

Complete error information:

ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Connection timed out
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Solution:
Add this chunk into the file ~/.ssh/config

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

Then try ssh -T git@github.com command to make sure it works.
