git - Failed to connect to github 443

Question

I tried to push some changes to github using git push origin master, but after some time it showed an error

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/the-unbelievable/MiniGames.git/': Failed to connect to github.com port 443: Operation timed out

I've just created that repo and already committed twice. I'm connected to the Internet through home WiFi and OS in Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.2.

Are you behind a proxy? Check content of C:Users[your username].gitconfig and make sure proxy is configured:

[http]  
    proxy = http://yourproxy.com:8080  //change your settings here
[https]
