I am using Mac OS X ElCapitan(10.11.6) version. And i am trying to push files to github which gives me connection closed by remote host error. On further searching and debugging I have tried all the options mentioned but could move forward.
Following is the output of my ssh -vvv localhost command:
ssh -vvvv localhost

Appreciate if someone can throw some light on this. Have been struggling with this for quite a while now.
Thanks
