cannot connect to github, not able to clone or push repo

Question

It was working fine until tomorrow. But today I am not able to push changes to the repo. I tried to clone my repo, it also shows the same error.

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/nkp1111/python-projects.git/': Failed to connect to github.com port 443 after 21101 ms: Timed out

The same error is showing up. I haven't changed any setting to my knowledge. It started to clone and stop after one time.

I suspect it is because of antivirus.

What can i do to make it work again?

Answer 1

There can be many causes for the problem, and we will not be able to solve your problem other than suggesting what to do.

have you set any security with temporary credentials? otherwise, it is most possibly also temporary.

try to clone some other repositories, any repository, to test the connection. if you fail to do that, then rest assured it is a temporary GitHub issue.

then try to clone your repo again. if you can clone but can't push back, then you will need to dig into security settings, first on GitHub, then on your computer.

PS: I can clone your repo right now, so I can say GitHub is working toward my country right now.
