What is git config user name?

About Git usernamesYou can change the name that is associated with your Git commits using the git config command. The new name you set will be visible in any future commits you push to GitHub from the command line. If you'd like to keep your real name private, you can use any text as your Git username.

Add BasicAuth myuser mypassword to /etc/tinyproxy/tinyproxy.conf.

Note that Basic Auth was added in tinyproxy 1.10.0, but Ubuntu 18.04 installs 1.8.4 by default.

Build the latest version of tinyproxy yourself or just use Ubuntu 19.04 or newer.
