Git push hangs everytime I try to push to github. I am using Cygwin and Windows 7. Git functions fine locally tracking branches, providing status, setting global user.name and user.email and allowing commits.
I'm still new and learning.
I enter git push , git push origin master or git push -u origin master and I get nothing but a blank line requiring me to ctl-c to get the prompt back.
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "me@example.com" asks me for a file name and hangs
git push heroku master hangs
$ git status returns On branch master nothing to commit, working directory clean
$ git pull returns Already up to date
$ git remote -v returns:
heroku git@heroku.com:myherokusite.git (fetch)
heroku git@heroku.com:myherokusite.git (push) origin
https://github.com/gitusername/appname.git (fetch) origin
https://github.com/gitusername/appname.git (push)
or the correct ssh remote settings are returned when trying this with ssh
Updated: Using the SSH url git@github.com:gitusername/gitrepo.git also hangs
git remote set-url origin https://github.com/gitusername/appname.git is correct
Updated: I can see the git processes running in Windows Task Manager while it hangs.
I've tried:
Using different internet connection locations
switching between https and ssh and it hangs
Uninstalled git. Reinstalled from: https://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list
Uninstalled git. Installed Cygwin's git
Uninstalled git. Installed Github for Windows GUI app and it I WAS able to push. But this app has limited functionality, forces me out of my Cygwin window into another app which then forces me into a Windows command prompt for complete functionality which I thought I had escaped by using Cygwin.
Spent many, many hours trying to resolve this, it worked faultlessly before, thanks.
UPDATE 4/2014: I rebuilt my entire machine Win 7, Cygwin etc and all is now working fine
