Thanks!

suggest using url..insteadOf setting instead of overriding the connection for github.com in ~/.ssh/config (that's what the documentation describes), like so:

git config --global "url.ssh://[email protected]:443/.insteadOf" [email protected]:

New bee! thanks

Thank you!

Oh my word THANK YOU SO MUCH
