Error: Fetching /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core failed

I ran brew update and got

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/': Failed to connect to 10.8.0.1 port 8080: Operation timed out

Error: Fetching /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core failed!

So I sometimes use a network which has proxy, so I added the following lines to .bash_profile (apart from usual changes in network settings via system preferences):

export http_proxy="http://10.8.0.1:8080"

export https_proxy="https://10.8.0.1:8080"

So I thought this might be causing the problem and commented these lines out, used source .bash_profile, rebooted and used cellular network. Still the same error.

The same issue happened to me. I just had to run brew repair, a command suggested in the error message. It fixed the problem while still using a VPN.

First remove the proxy, if you are using any proxy. I had the same problem.

In your terminal try running brew update-reset and then source ~/.bash_profile

Reverting changes to ~/.gitconfig worked for me. From this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/64409020/1762493

The solution provided by OP is certainly a valid workaround, but for more context, the full piece of Git configuration that caused this behavior likely looked something like this:

[url "[email protected]:"]
    insteadOf = https://github.com/

☝️ This is the part I commented out for brew update to work again.
