Problem
After git push -u origin master I got:
fatal: unable to access ‘https://github.com/xxxx/xxxx.git’: Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 8087: Connection refused
same error happen when I try to clone others repo.
port 8087 doesn’t seem to be busy. What could go wrong?
edit: when I do clone from git:// instead of https://, it works just fine.
Solution
This happens because a proxy is configured in git.
Since it’s https proxy (and not http) git config http.proxy and git config --global http.proxy can’t help.
1 : take a look at your git configuration
git config --global -l
If you have nothing related to https proxy like https_proxy=… the problem is not here.
If you have something related to https proxy then remove it from the file ~/.gitconfig and try again
2 : if it still doesn’t work, unset environment variables
Check your environment variables :
env|grep -i proxy
You should have one or several lines with https_proxy=…
Unset one by one with : unset https_proxy (or HTTPS_PROXY depending of the name of the variable)
3 : check environment variables again
env|grep -i proxy
If it shows nothing you should be good.
Note : This solution can applies to http and https proxy problems. just the variables name changes from https to http
