Github (SSH) via public WIFI, port 22 blocked

git ssh github wifi public

I'm currently on a public WIFI spot and I'm unable to use SSH (they probably blocked that port). However, I need that connection to do a git push.

➜ ssh -T [email protected]
ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Connection refused

Is it possible to bypass this restriction by setting up a SSH tunnel via port 80 and tell github push to use that connection? How to do that? I'm on OSX (lion). This must be a common problem?

Try this:

$ vim ~/.ssh/config

Add

Host github.com
  Hostname ssh.github.com
  Port 443
