[GIT ISSUE] Unable to do git pull push? Might be IPV6 issue

If you are not able to do git pull or git push, it might be because of your IPV6 enable for your network.

I was facing a weird issue with git. I was not able to do GIT PULL and GIT PUSH when I was connected to my wifi network.
Later I explored and got to know that my network IPV6 creating an issue.

To confirm this, you need to check with a different network, if the other network works well for the git then this IPV6 might be the issue.

So disabled the IPV6 on my laptop by using the following commands.

First, you need to check that your IPV6 is enabled by using the following command.

ip a

If it is enabled, you should see an IPv6 address (the name of your internet card might be different):

Now, if IPV6 is enabled then you need to hit the following commands one by one.

sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1

sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1

sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6=1

You can check if it disabled, You should see no IPv6 entry:

Now, you would be able to do git pull and git push if the ipv6 was your issue
