so I tried to push some updates onto my repo on github via terminal on Mac OSX 10.8.4 and it doesn't work. I've been getting the same error many times: Lillys-MacBook-Air:Yuewei Lilly$ git push origin master error: Failed connect to github.com:443; Operation timed out while accessing https://github.com/lillybeans/Yuewei.git/info/refs?service=git-receive-pack fatal: HTTP request failed Some background: I've pushed many projects onto github before using terminal (when I was in Canada). I am currently in Shanghai, China, could it be the GFW? But when I was in Beijing, I was able to push projects onto github still. when I do ping github.com: Lillys-MacBook-Air:Yuewei Lilly$ ping github.com PING github.com (192.30.252.131): 56 data bytes Request timeout for icmp_seq 0 Request timeout for icmp_seq 1 ping: sendto: No route to host Request timeout for icmp_seq 2 ping: sendto: Host is down Request timeout for icmp_seq 3 ping: sendto: Host is down Request timeout for icmp_seq 4 ping: sendto: Host is down Request timeout for icmp_seq 5 ping: sendto: Host is down Request timeout for icmp_seq 6 ping: sendto: Host is down Request timeout for icmp_seq 7 ^C --- github.com ping statistics --- 9 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss Lillys-MacBook-Air:Yuewei Lilly$ I have ShadowSocks (proxy) turned on. Without it I can't access github.com via browser, with it, I can. also when I do "git remote -v" I see both my pull and push remote repos correctly listed. Thank you in advance!
