git - Getting error while trying to push to Heroku

Question

When I type in "git push heroku master" I get an error that says:

ssh: Could not resolve hostname heroku.com: nodename nor servname provided, or not known

I am on my computer at work and I believe this problem has to do with proxies/firewall. Does anybody know of a way around this error in the command line? Or any other type of fix? Thanks.

Answer 1

try ssh'ing directly to heroku from your command line

 ssh git@heroku.com -T

if you don't get a response

 !  You can only access Heroku by ssh via git push and pull commands.

then it's connectivety issue or a firewall in the way that's blocking your requests.
