Why wont github connect with port 443 with ssh

I changed the .ssh config file to use port 443 and I checked that it worked:

bash-4.2$ ssh -T [email protected]
Hi keiashford! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell 
access.`bash-4.2

But when trying to clone a repository using ssh over port 443?

bash-4.2$ git clone ssh://[email protected]/keiashford/getexorcism-ssh htdocs
Cloning into 'htdocs'...
ssh: connect to host ssh.github.com 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.

I cant use port 22 because im already using ssh to get into this remote computer

You need to add new a config file at ~/.ssh if you do not have it yet, insert like below

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

After, you can run ssh -T [email protected] to confirm if the issue is fixed. The result will be

Hi xxxx! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.

Hopefully, this helps you.

Your outgoing destination port 22 is filtered. Check with sudo iptables -L OUTPUT if you don't want to bother with the firewall or git config, you can just git clone ssh://[email protected]:443/keiashford/getexorcism-ssh htdocs
