I am pretty new in Git and GitHub and I think I have some configuration problem.
Yesterday I have correctly configured the SSH connection between my local GIT and my GitHub account. It works fine.
Today I go to the office where I am under a proxy and using the same laptop I try to clone a remote repository (on my GitHub account) to my local repository.
The proxy is correctly setted on my Git, in fact doing:
$ git config --global http.proxy
http://XX.YY.ZZ.AAA:3228
That is the same proxy that I use to navigate on Internet that I have setted into the browser settings.
The problem is that when I try to clone my repository on GitHub into my local repository I obtain this error message:
$ git clone git@github.com:AndreaNobili/recipes.git
Cloning into 'recipes'...
ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Connection timed out
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
If I connect to Internet using my smartphone connection (that is not under proxy) it works fine.
Why? What am I missing?
Although you've configured an http proxy, you haven't instructed Git to use http - you've specified that it should use ssh to connect:
$ git clone git@github.com:AndreaNobili/recipes.git
And indeed, your error message is that ssh timed out:
ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Connection timed out
This happens because you have a firewall blocking your connection. Instead, specify the repository as an HTTP URL, and Git will use the corporate proxy you've configured:
$ git clone https://github.com/AndreaNobili/recipes.git
