Git issue: Failed to connect (Timed Out)

I'm having the same issue as described here, but unfortunately that did not receive an answer...

Essentially, whenever I try to push/clone to a git repository (whether its from Github or another site), I am unable to do so. I am getting the following error every time:

fatal: unable to access '(repo url)': Failed to connect to (domain) port 443: Timed Out

Most solutions I found involved setting a proxy, but I am currently not running a proxy. Another idea was that my Firewall may be blocking it.

I was able to push/clone git repositories in the past (about 3 months ago), but since trying again a few days ago it has not worked. My colleagues are able to push/clone from the same repo's I'm trying to access. Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this issue?

A minor change to @Vamsi Ravi answer was a change to third step to: git remote add origin <url>. After adding the remote once removed I was then able to push as expected.

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/mdsowmya/Test.git/': Failed to connect to github.com port 443: Timed out

Solutions:

  1. Please check if you are behind any network proxy configured(Internet Options)
    Unset the proxy configuration through git: 
git config --global --unset http.proxy http://proxyuser:[email protected]:8080
  1. If connected to company/office laptop, check your VPN connection/firewall settings.
    Disabling VPN will help you connect to github. Worked for me :)

  1. Try removing the origin and setting the origin again.

Check the remote 

$ git remote -v

Remove the remote 

$ git remote rm origin

Set the remote again

$ git remote set-url origin <url>

  1. Try to change the url of the remote origin in the .git/config file in your working directory.

    [remote "origin"]

    fetch = +refs/heads/:refs/remotes/origin/

    url = ssh://oldhost.com/usr/local/gitroot/myproject.git

I hope this should help you sort the issue.
