Github (SSH) via public WIFI, port 22 blocked

Question

I\'m currently on a public WIFI spot and I\'m unable to use SSH (they probably blocked that port). However, I need that connection to do a git push.

Answer 1

In addition to configuring it with the ~/.ssh/config file, you can also simply include the port number in the remote URL you use. You just have to

1. use a proper URL like ssh://user@host:port/path instead of the user@host:path shorthand; and

2. prepend the ssh. subdomain to github.com.

For instance, instead of

git@github.com:cdbennett/python-gitlab.git

use

ssh://git@ssh.github.com:443/cdbennett/python-gitlab.git
