ssh: connect to host bitbucket.org port 22: Connection timed out
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

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

My firewalls are disabled and I still get connection time out. What should I do?

bitbucket ssh git

Looks like you have issues with the default SSH port and they could be avoided by using another port. This is a common issue.

Basically, you can use port 443 instead of 22.

  • For Github, the answer is:

To set this in your ssh config, edit the file at ~/.ssh/config, and add this section:

Host github.com
    Hostname ssh.github.com
    Port 443

  • BitBucket: Answers below confirmed you can still do this even though it was supposed to be discontinued on June 15, 2011:

     Host bitbucket.org
  Hostname  altssh.bitbucket.org
  Port  443

  • For Gitlab, the ssh config looks like this. Update the IdentityFile to match your local private key:

     Host gitlab.com
     Hostname altssh.gitlab.com
     User git
     Port 443
     PreferredAuthentications publickey
     IdentityFile ~/.ssh/gitlab

For Bitbucket this worked for me:

Host bitbucket.org
 Hostname  altssh.bitbucket.org
 Port  443
user_39002120

I am bit late to answer but my config file works for both GitHub and BitBucket

Host bitbucket.org
Hostname  altssh.bitbucket.org
Port  443

Host github.com
Hostname ssh.github.com
Port 443
user_57941160

This worked for me.

    Host github.com
    Hostname ssh.github.com
    Port 443
    User git

I suggest you reading this github docs
