We have an internally hosted git server (TFS) and I have Proxy environment variables set (HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY). After having been working fine for some time, I suddenly started getting this error.

I ended up fixing it by setting our server in the NO_PROXY environment variable.

I guess that your git remote url has been set as SSH  You can set it as HTTPS  git remote set-url origin https   github com YOUR USERNAME YOUR REPOSITORY git  Retry this command and there is prompt to enter username and password  git pull

You can try for following solutions step by step one of them should work for you   I have tried all three steps but STEP 4 worked for me  Because I was using two different git accounts  STEP 1    git init git add README md git commit -m  first commit  git remote add origin https   github com XXXX YYYY git git push -u origin master   STEP 2   Check your current branch  git branch if you are not on branch git checkout branch name  To create new branch use git checkout -b  new branch name  to switch on new branch use above command   STEP 3   In the special case that you are creating a new repository starting from an old repository that you used as a template  Don t do this if this is not your case   Completely erase the git files of the old repository so you can start a new one   rm -rf  git  and repeat STEP 1   STEP 4   On windows  you can try putting write credentials or remove git credentials from the control panel by following way and repeat STEP 1  Go to Win -  Control Panel -  Credential Manager -  Windows Credentials

I had the same problem however  with a Jenkins installation  The response back from trying to clone was always    stderr  fatal  unable to access  https   my gitlab server group repo git    Empty reply from server  Unfortunately switching to http wasn t an option  so I needed the root cause  Turns out there was a http setting in the global config for the Jenkins user  likely added when we were running a self-signed cert on out gitlab instance   Taking look at the global config      git config --global -l http sslverify false   Removing this did the trick    git config --global --unset http sslverify    It also looks like this is a typo  with the correct key http sslVerify

If unsetting using git config --global --unset-all https proxy  doesn t work for you   Then check if the environment variable http proxy and https proxy are set   Check using this command   - env   grep -i proxy  If this variable is set to something   then you can just unset it using  -    https proxy  quot  quot

I think the solution mentioned above to remove the git credentials from windows credentials manager works  Basically it would have sourced with other git credentials in the cache  Flushing out the old ones would pave way to override the new credentials

I was stuck in this problem until I noticed that I was not logged into my VPN   If you have configured your proxy for a VPN  you need to login to your VPN to use the proxy   to use it outside the VPN use the unset command  git config --global --unset http proxy    And remember to set the proxy when within the VPN
