Jonathan Almeida: SSH access to Github over HTTPS
Developers can now use HTTPS to connect to GitHub repositories via SSH, even on networks that block standard SSH ports. This bypasses common Wi-Fi restrictions, ensuring smoother access to code from anywhere.
Key takeaways
- GitHub now supports SSH connections over HTTPS.
- Bypasses blocked port 22 on public networks.
- Enables consistent Git access for remote developers.
- Improves workflow reliability during travel.
Why it matters
This update is crucial for remote workers and travelers who rely on public Wi-Fi. It removes a significant barrier to accessing and managing code repositories, preventing disruptions to development workflows when network access is limited.
