Git through digest proxy authentication

Question

I want to do "git clone" through a proxy server. The issue is my proxy server uses digest authentication. So i can't find neither in git documentation, nor help that someone that already made.

I dig through google search and i can't find any helpful results.

Thxs.

Answer 1

Just to save a few moments of googling on Bennet's Answer:

1. Clear old settings:
   >git config --global --unset https.proxy
>git config --global --unset http.proxy
   

2. Set new settings:
   >git config --global https.proxy https://USER:[email protected]:80
>git config --global http.proxy http://USER:[email protected]:80
   

3. Verify new settings:
   >git config --get https.proxy
>git config --get http.proxy
   

NOTE: When you verify, you should see the same values that you put in.

Answer 2

I was able to do a git clone through an authenticated proxy by setting the environment variable http_proxy to http://username:password@proxyhost:80

Then a plain ole git clone worked.

(The proxy is some corporate Windows thing, so my username actually looked like domain\username. Took a while to realise that I needed the domain.)
