My firewall is configured to deny all inbound and outbound traffic unless a rule says otherwise.
This answer suggests making rules for git.exe, sh.exe, and ssh.exe. So I did. Even bash.exe.
Still when I run git pull I see:
fatal: unable to access 'https://joncom@bitbucket.org/joncom/my-repo.git/': Failed connect to bitbucket.org:443; No error
If I allow outbound connections by default, everything works.
What rule am I missing?
I needed to add a rule for git-remote-https.exe because I'm authenticating via HTTPS, not SSH.
On new versions of git, this is located at: C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\libexec\git-core\git-remote-https.exe.
Edit: In fact I disabled the rules for git.exe, sh.exe, ssh.exe, and bash.exe, and still everything works, so they seem unnecessary for my purposes.
When using:
git submodule update
I had to allow $GIT_BASH_LOCATION/usr/bin/ssh.exe through the firewall. In almost all other cases it is not used.
I had the same problem but since I don't have a git-remote-https.exe I needed to open the Ports for git. You need to open the ones described in this question here.
