失败推。 与github.com相关的未知SSL协议错误：443

Question

I am a new Git/GitHub Windows user. Using a fresh install of git and following a Lynda.com tutorial instructions, I have created the GitHub repo, generated the ssh, added the ssh key to my GitHub account,and authenticated the connection to GitHub.

When I try to push, I receive the error:

Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to github.com:443

I have thoroughly perused StackOverflow and found similar questions, but I am unable to resolve a solution that works for me. I have posted the relevant git commands below. Any help is appreciated.

$ git remote

Hi PrinceHumperdinck! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.

Answer 1

There are two main ways to access a Git-based source control service such as GitHub or GitLab, is through HTTPS or SSH. At the moment you're using the HTTPS method which requires you to authenticate every Fetch, Push or Pull request with your username and password. That's why you get this error.

How to fix

Since you have added your SSH key to the GitHub account:

1. Goto the repository click "Clone or download"
2. Click "Use SSH" on the top right corner of the popup box. ignore this step if it says "Use HTTPS"
3. Copy the link, it should look something like this git@github.com:PrinceHumperdinck/explore_california.git
4. Goin to the local copy (folder) and run this git remote set-url ORIGIN git@github.com:PrinceHumperdinck/explore_california.git . Substitute ORIGIN with the value before the URL of this command git remote -v
5. Run git fetch and if that works. Run git push .

If step 4 doesn't work for you, you can always clone it again with git clone git@github.com:PrinceHumperdinck/explore_california.git

Side note, if you're not familiar with command line GIT you can use GUI tools like Sourcetree for free or GitKraken free for personal use (with annoying popup box)
