POSTS / Set Github Hosts manually in WSL
Published: 2024-01-25
Thanks to GitHub520, I got accessing Github accelerated.
At first when I tried to push changes to Github I found that I cannot even access it:
ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Connection timed out
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
Then I tried ssh -T [email protected]
and it was determined that I was indeed unable to access github directly. When I tried to ping github.com
, I saw PING github.com (20.205.243.166) 56(84) bytes of data.
and actually github.com
is at 140.82.113.4
currently, which made it clearly that I need to set hosts manually.
Following the guide in Github520, I pasted the given list to /etc/hosts
and immediately it works.
