GitHub push failed: “Could not resolve host: github.com”

This is a network/DNS problem. It’s common on VPS boxes, corporate networks, and some DNS providers.

Quick diagnosis

# DNS
nslookup github.com
# or
# dig +short github.com

# HTTP connectivity
curl -I https://github.com | head

Most common fixes

  • Change DNS resolver (fastest): use 1.1.1.1 / 8.8.8.8 / your local resolver.
  • Disable broken IPv6 (some VPS): if IPv6 DNS works but routing is broken.
  • Proxy settings: check http_proxy/https_proxy env vars.
  • Firewall / DPI: some networks block GitHub intermittently.
