Github ssh -T git@github.com and git functions are not working, hanging

I am using manjaro linux. I've managed to setup ssh key before, but after i reinstall the OS, i failed after i've done all things with github ssh documents. my github commands are just waiting forever and generates this error: ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Connection timed out, Example;

[maviay@manjaro ~]$ ssh -T git@github.com
ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Connection timed out

Solution

  • While a firewall issue could be a common cause for port 22 blocked, check this thread for a wifi chipset driver issue.

    Said issue would not affect HTTPS (443), which is why your workaround is working:

    # ~/.ssh/config
Host github.com
 Hostname ssh.github.com
 Port 443
