Answer 1

The Op mentions

my problem is fixed. Internet speed was very slow so issue occurs.

But do also consider that GitHub disabled just yesterday (Feb. 22 2018) deprecated algorithms:

• TLSv1/TLSv1.1: This applies to all HTTPS connections, including web, API, and git connections to https://github.com and https://api.github.com.
• diffie-hellman-group1-sha1: This applies to all SSH connections to github.com
• diffie-hellman-group14-sha1: This applies to all SSH connections to github.com

Upgrading to the latest Git should be enough to not be no

Answer 2

I encountered the same error in a Linux environment. Turned out environment variable (i.e. http_proxy and https_proxy on my VM weren't set correctly.

You would want to check:

• if you are behind a firewall
• if you need to use a proxy to access internet/github. If so, make sure to set https_proxy correctly.

If on Windows 10, updating to git version 2.29.1.windows.1 (link) solved the problem for me.
