fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/xxx': LibreSSL SSL_connect: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL in connection to github.com:443

I used git "push" and "pull" commands with success till yesterday, but today it is not working and give me this error: Push failed: Unable to access 'https://github.com/username/repository.git/': LibreSSL SSL_connect: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL in connection to github.com:443

I tried many solutions but no success. Solutions I tried:
1. Using SSH key
2. Updating git
3. Installing curl with openssl (same error while installing)

This is the result of curl github.com -v:

* Rebuilt URL to: github.com/
*   Trying 192.30.253.112...
* TCP_NODELAY set
* Connected to github.com (127.0.0.1) port 80 (#0)

curl: (56) Recv failure: Connection reset by peer
Solution

  • The problem was solved by restarting my computer.

    Update:
    Kaspersky Internet Security/Antivirus causes the problem and disabling/removing it fixes the issue for most users.
