git - Could not resolve proxy:

Question

In work I have a proxy, at home I don't have a proxy

In work I set the proxy like:

    git config - -global  http.proxy  http://proxy.theaddress.co.uk:8080     git config - -global  https.proxy  https://proxy.theaddress.co.uk:8080 

At home I remove the proxy like

    git config --global --unset http.proxy     git config --global --unset https.proxy 

I'm trying to push something to my git repo with

    git push -u origin master 

And I get

    Could not resolve proxy: proxy.theaddress.co.uk 

The .gitconfig file looks like this.

    [user]         name = first last         email = [email protected]     [http]     [https]     [push]         default = current     [http]     [core]         excludesfile = /Users/first.last/.gitignore_global     [difftool "sourcetree"]         cmd = opendiff \"$LOCAL\" \"$REMOTE\"         path =      [mergetool "sourcetree"]         cmd = /Applications/SourceTree.app/Contents/Resources/opendiff-w.sh \"$LOCAL\" \"$REMOTE\" -ancestor \"$BASE\" -merge \"$MERGED\"         trustExitCode = true     [http]     [https]     [http]     [https]     [http]     [https]     [http]     [https]     [http]     [https]     [filter "media"]         clean = git media clean %f         smudge = git media smudge %f         required = true     [http]     [https]     [https]     [http]     [http]     [https]     [http] 

How do I remove the proxy ?

Answer 1

Check the environment variables with :

$echo $http_proxy $echo $https_proxy $echo $HTTPS_PROXY $echo $HTTP_PROXY 

if any of these environment variables are set then unset them by just using http_proxy= then enter will unset those

$export http_proxy= 

Answer 2

• Delete all of the following variables if they are set while working on the network having no proxy (Example at the home)

   //Computer=>System properties=>Advanced=>Environment Variables  http_proxy,https_proxy,HTTPS_PROXY,HTTP_PROXY 

• Unset git proxy

   git config --global --unset http.proxy  git config --global --unset https.proxy 

Both steps together worked for me in Windows.
