Known issues

Issue:
  Clonning a git repository using WSL2 occurs timeout on port 22 or 443

  bscpaz@2am:/$ git clone git@github.com:bscpaz/<some-repo>
  Cloning into '<some-repo>'...
  ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Connection timed out
  fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

  Please make sure you have the correct access rights
  and the repository exists.
  
Solution:
  - First, check if your WSL2 can run a "sudo apt-get update". If not, it's a general problem.
  - Turn off your VPN and try again.
