How to pull and push to GitHub over blocked ports

This quick tip should help you hack at any coffee shop with free wifi.

I arrive at the Xtreme Bean cafe in Tempe, only to discover that I can’t git pull or git push over their free wifi connection. I’m crippled without command line access to my GitHub.

Pretty quickly I get frustrated and I’m about ready to pack up and leave carrying my freshly poured large cup of coffee.

Then I try a last ditch effort by opening up my project’s git config file at ~/.git/config. I modify my git remote url to “http://daehee@github.com…” instead of “git@github.com…” My git remote commands now work like a charm.
