Can't access github from terminal

pouridev · 2022-10-23 18:00:20

I noticed I couldn't use "git clone" to clone repos from github recently. It's just stuck like "Cloning into 'x'..."
But I still can access github from my firefox browser. neither 'git' nor 'curl' & 'wget'.. nothing works from terminal. I'm not using any firewalls to the point I am aware of.
And still can connect with:
"openssl s_client -connect github.com:443
CONNECTED(00000003)"
Updated Arch today and using linux kernel: 5.15.74-1-lts

https or ssh?

Try the SSH. Just do "ssh github.com" and if it gives you some response (even if it's "access denied") as opposed to hanging then you can just set up SSH and use that, it's better anyway.

Also try the gh CLI, that can do "gh repo clone ORG/REPO". It also has some helpers for auth. Maybe that will help.

What's the output of

curl -v https://github.com > /dev/null

?

are there any VPNs, PiHoles etc. involved?
Can you

curl -v https://google.com > /dev/null

Based on this, I think if you follow https://docs.github.com/en/authenticati … b-with-ssh, and then use SSH links (git@github instead of https://), your git commands should work. SSH is a better protocol anyhow.

Whatever happens wrt to github, don't gloss over the fact that the TLS handshake fails, what likely points to a more general problem w/ the setup.
