how you fixed it? it seems doesn't work for me!

Thank you ❤️

suggest using url..insteadOf setting instead of overriding the connection for github.com in ~/.ssh/config (that's what the documentation describes), like so:

git config --global "url.ssh://[email protected]:443/.insteadOf" [email protected]:

it's work's for me. thank you

thanks !

what would be the extension of config file ?

what would be the extension of config file ?

~/.ssh/config do not have file extension

The first solution works if you your .ssh/config file got deleted

thank you!

thx!

The purpose of this command is typically to test or use the SSH connection to GitHub, especially when the default port 22 is blocked or for some reason unavailable.

By using port 443, the connection can bypass firewalls that only allow HTTPS traffic, which is useful in restrictive network environments.

Leave the slash, take a colon

添加如下配置到 ~/.ssh/config
Host ssh.github.com
HostName ssh.github.com
User git
PreferredAuthentications publickey
IdentityFile YOUR_RSA_PATH
Port 443

并且添加如下配置到 ~/.gitconfig
[url "[email protected]:"]
insteadOf = [email protected]:

thanks!

可行！！

Thanks!
