SSH access to Github over HTTPS
Summary
GitHub also accepts SSH connections on port 443 (HTTPS). Add a host entry in your SSH config pointing github.com to ssh.github.com on port 443 to bypass restrictive firewalls.
- GitHub runs an SSH service on ssh.github.com:443 for environments where port 22 is blocked.
- Configure SSH client once; all future git operations over SSH will use the alternate port automatically.
Allows developers to use SSH‑based Git workflows (e.g., signed commits, key‑based auth) from networks that block outbound port 22, without switching to HTTPS URLs.
