OpenSSL SSL_connect: Connection was reset in connection to github.com:443 while try to git push

Question

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/XXX/XXXXX.git/': OpenSSL SSL_connect: Connection was reset in connection to github.com:443

Suddenly I'm getting above error while I try to git pull, git push, or clone the repo.

Do you use self-signed certificates to connect to your github ? it seems for me you are tryin to access private repo, I assume for the company you are working for, Right? — Mostafa Hassan, Mar 22 '22 at 12:23

I also encountered a similar situation; that's when I came across an answer on Code Grepper by Shibbir Ahmed, where he provided this:

git config --global --unset-all remote.origin.proxy

That solved the issue for me.

When I couldn't use my VPN Apps because it doesn't connect in Iran at the moment, I used GitHub desktop.

Hmm, That's true. SSL Protocol in completely closed in Iran! No SSL Connection is allowed. – Amir Pourmand Oct 10 '22 at 09:43
I couldn't even with GitHub desktop. I unchecked the `Use system OpenSSH` in the advanced option, however, I still couldn't. Are there any solutions? – Arani Oct 11 '22 at 10:24

As Iranian Govenment has recently blocked OpenSSL protocol in most ISPs, we have to switch from HTTPS to SSH or use Github Desktop (This solution is just for Iranian people like me!).

I recommend installing GitHub Desktop if you can. I couldn't install it since I want to use GIT in the terminal. So, I switched from HTTPS mode to SSH mode using this command (Reference):

git config --global url."git@github.com:".insteadOf "https://github.com/"

Then I created an SSH key and added it to ssh agent using this tutorial on github.

Also, to test your ssh key, you can use (Reference):

ssh -T git@github.com

Based on the link.

In the case of the Iran SSL ban, it is possible to run a proxy on the arbitrary free port on your localhost and then reconfigure the git proxy setting. For example, I use the Psiphon to run a proxy by changing the setting shown in the image:

Run the command:

git config --global --add remote.origin.proxy "127.0.0.1:1089"

Try again by using a VPN.

If it doesn't work or you don't have access to any VPN, take your chance by using SSH instead of HTTPS as following steps:

Generate a new ssh key with a passphrase if you don't already have one.
Import the ssh key to your GitHub account.
Clone the repository using SSH.
Now if you're lucky, the pull, push, and other git commands should work.

I was getting an error in that format from many FOSS tools. I solved the problem by temporarily disabling my anti-virus, Kaspersky. (I wouldn't name it publicly but I already told it not to "scan" secure connections so there's no reasonable explanation for this problem.)

In my case, the issue was an expired token. Just generate a new token (if this is auth form you're using) and you'll be good to go.

On the github.com website, go to Settings / SSH and GPG Keys -> New SSH Key. Add your public SSH key from your computer. You can find the string for this e.g. under Windows in the path C:\Users\User.ssh or under Linux in the path /home/admin/.ssh in the file id_rsa.pub.
