Failing to connect to github.com

When I try to push to a Git repository on Heroku I obtain the following error:

fatal: unable to access 'https://git.heroku.com/xxxxxxxxx.git/': Failed to connect to github.com port 9836: Operation timed out

I also obtain the same error when I try to clone any repository from github.com.

I have tried the following command with no success

git config --global http.proxy github.com:9836
git config --global https.proxy github.com:9836

These commands tell Git to route all HTTP and HTTPS traffic through GitHub on port 9836:

git config --global http.proxy github.com:9836
git config --global https.proxy github.com:9836

When you try to push to Heroku using HTTPS Git now tries to use GitHub as a proxy. As far as I know, GitHub doesn't operate any public Git proxies, and I'm not sure what their purpose would be.

Removing these settings via

git config --global --unset http.proxy
git config --global --unset https.proxy

or editing your ~/.gitconfig file manually should resolve your issue pushing to Heroku, assuming you don't actually need a proxy.
