gitgit-for-windows

fatal: unable to access <link> getaddrinfo() thread failed to start


When I type: git push origin master

Error :

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/<github-username>/<repository-name>.git/': getaddrinfo() thread failed to start

What do I do?

This is git being used on a windows machine


Solution

  • I had the same problem, I tried several solutions until I found out that in my case it was the firewall. Mine was the "Free Firewall", I noticed that even authorizing the software and connections it was still not possible to have a connection to the remote repository. I disabled it and it didn't solve it, only when I uninstalled it that the problem was solved and I was able to use Git normally.
