How to work with github through blocked 22 port
Can not say for sure why it was needed to block 22th port in our company, but github has predicted this trouble and there is easy solution how to work around.
Step one: the problem
mkotsur@mkotsur:~/Documents/techtalks$ git pull origin master ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Connection refused fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
Step two: piece of magic
There is special host ssh.github.com which allows to work with github via port 443. To use it you should add few lines into ~/.ssh/config.
mkotsur@mkotsur:~/.ssh$ cat ./config Host github.com User git Port 443 Hostname ssh.github.com
Step three: magic in action
mkotsur@mkotsur:~/Documents/techtalks$ git pull origin master From git@github.com:mkotsur/TechTalks * branch master -> FETCH_HEAD Already up-to-date.
