Is your local machine a company provided laptop or are you at work? If so, it could be a proxy issue and will require some research to configure your machine. In some cases, it isn't possible. My company doesn't allow access to github.com for most users.
If it is your personal laptop, there are a few things to try.
The first answer over on stack overflow might give you some ideas if it is a company laptop (unless they block github). The 3rd may help if it is your own machine.

Treehouse TeacherBasically, that means that Git can't get the IP address of github.com from a domain name server. I would recommend the same things Steve Mustanski did. On an even more basic level, though:
- What OS are you running? If you're running Windows, what console/shell are you using?
- Can you type
https://github.com
into a browser's address bar and visit the site that way? Or are you blocked there too? - You might try the same steps in a Workspace and see if that works.
