GitHub - HTTPS access

I am unable to clone my repository via HTTPS:

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

Output:

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

Just to add to this discussion, for some reason or another, it seems to work for me when I use "http" rather than "https".

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

git clone [email protected]:walterjwhite/project.configuration.git

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

Just to add you might also check if GitHub's system is healthy at GitHub System Status.

As you did saw yourself in GitHub support, Scott Schacon himself suggested:

So I guess your .netrc is incorrect or something?
Try removing the info from your .netrc and cloning first (since it's a public repo).

If it isn't a GitHub server issue, it could be your firewall.
And/or your proxy (git config --global http.proxy http://user:password@proxy:xxx).
