SSL_connect: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL i

Same problem here, it turned out to be my incorrectly configured proxy settings, here's how to check and remove them.

First open your git config file.

vi ~/.gitconfig
and find out whether the [http] or [https] sections are set.

I used to set proxies for git due to slow access to Github in China, however, lately I changed my local proxy ports but I forgot my git settings.

If you have incorrect proxy settings and decide to remove it, simply execute:

git config --global --unset http.proxy
git config --global --unset https.proxy
Things will work just fine.
