When I follow point 5 (Test everything out) in the github guide, the ssh command also hangs forever. According to the guide, I should be presented with a message that "Github does not provide shell access". Below is my output from ssh -vT [email protected]
debug1: Authentication succeeded (publickey).
Authenticated to github.com ([207.97.227.239]:22).

Part 3: Why Does Cloning Process Take So Long? Cloning your disk requires not only the right software but also that all your hardware and your operating system are in good condition; otherwise, this procedure will take longer than it should.
If you have a problem cloning a repository, or using it once it has been created, check the following: Ensure that the user has gone through initial GitCentric login and has the correct username, email, and ssh. This should return a usage message that refers to the config-branch, config-repo, and ls-repo commands.
To Git clone a repository navigate to your preferred repository hosting service like GitHub, select the repository you want to clone, copy the repository URL via HTTPS or SSH, type git clone in the command line, paste the URL, and hit enter .
GitHub offers a few different ways to connect to the remote repo. I am behind an onerous firewall. All methods also hang except using http (not https).
For example, the JavaHamcrest project offers (anonymously):
You may also try:
Finally, prefix your UNIX command with GIT_TRACE=1
and GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1
, and use Git option --verbose
for maximum debug output.
Example: env GIT_TRACE=1 GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 git clone --verbose http://github.com/hamcrest/JavaHamcrest.git
In my case port 22 was being blocked by a firewall, cloning via https
may not work if you have 2-factor authentication enabled. Instead edit your .ssh config to use another port. In your terminal:
nano ~/.ssh/config
then add this:
Host github.com
Hostname ssh.github.com
Port 443
Try using HTTPS instead of SSH. Port 22 might be blocked by a firewall.
E.g. instead of:
git clone [email protected]:repo-owner/my-project.git
Connect via HTTPS
:
git clone https://[email protected]/repo-owner/my-project.git
