I had the same problem, I tried several solutions until I found out that in my case it was the firewall. Mine was the "Free Firewall", I noticed that even authorizing the software and connections it was still not possible to have a connection to the remote repository. I disabled it and it didn't solve it, only when I uninstalled it that the problem was solved and I was able to use Git normally.
