GitHub - HTTPS access

Viewed 99766

I am unable to clone my repository via HTTPS:

$ git clone https://github.com/walterjwhite/project.configuration.git
Initialized empty Git repository in ./project.configuration/.git/
error: Failed connect to github.com:443; Connection refused while accessing https://github.com/walterjwhite/project.configuration.git/info/refs
fatal: HTTP request failed

I have configured .netrc with my login and password as well as the machine or server I am connecting to.

Another possibility that worked without trouble for me was to use the SSH option for clone.

git clone git@github.com:walterjwhite/project.configuration.git

You have to upload an SSH key to Github to use this, but it got me around the https problem.
