when i put this line [vim ~/.ssh/config] into my terminal , my terminal stopped working and i can’t run any other line

Thanks. https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/troubleshooting-ssh/using-ssh-over-the-https-port

also if it did not work and the output was :

Bad owner or permissions on /home/poparent/.ssh/config

just run this command:

chmod 600 ~/.ssh/config

谁能解释为什么会发生此错误？GitHub 是否要求您使用端口 443 进行 ssh 访问？

ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Network is unreachable
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

（Hope it works for you） Me too, so I gave up this method and tried another thing:

It works!!

Thank you so much. It worked out for me.

Thank you!

It worked ! Thank you !

Thank you so much

How can we gain ssh/shell access so that we could push changes back to github repositories? (I work on windows ubuntu bash terminal)

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

This also works for connection refused error. Thank you.

Thank you

Thanks!

Thanks! The port was also an issue for me and this resolved it

THANK YOU!!

Thank you, Tamal! I spent on it few hours, before i found your solution.

Thank you! Editing ~/.ssh/config works just fine for me

also if it did not work and the output was :

Bad owner or permissions on /home/poparent/.ssh/config

just run this command:

chmod 600 ~/.ssh/config

This works for me!

Thank you Tamal !
Adding the port to ssh config fixed the issue for me (Monterey 12.6)

worked perfectly, thank you!

thanks

anyone know why this actually works?

thank you so much!

Host github.com
Hostname ssh.github.com
Port 443
what should i do after typing it in?
I am new to github

After 3 hours of hard work, I found this nugget! THANK YOU

Thank you!

This is not working for me.
ssh -T git@github.com -> ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Connection timed out
ssh -T -p 443 git@ssh.github.com -> ssh: connect to host ssh.github.com port 443: Connection timed out

If I push using the same ssh keys with a program like SmartGit (for Ubuntu, and it ask for the ssh key so I just add them and the passphrase), I CAN push using that program.

I really don't understand why I can't push with cmd...

Anyone knows what is happening?.

After hours of searching for a solution, this has worked for me!!! Thank you so much!

It also works for me， but I want to konw why it must be this?

You are my savior .... 3hours on it, testing everything and nothing worked !
