Setting the proxy for Git Run the following commands replacing USERNAME , PASSWORD , PROXY_ADDRESS , and PROXY_PORT with your network's information: git config --global --add http. proxy http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@PROXY_ADDRESS:PROXY_PORT. git config --global --add https.
If you're behind an http proxy, you should be using http git urls. The UsingGit page on Savannah.gnu.org tells you the correct syntax for this. For that repo:
git clone http://git.savannah.gnu.org/r/gnuprologjava.git
When you are on linux, see this page.
On windows I have solved it this way;
Install Cygwin, and select the socat package. Create a script gitproxy.cmd and save it in the path (I used C:\msysgit\cmd\gitproxy.cmd):
@echo off
C:\cygwin\bin\socat.exe - PROXY:192.168.100.1:\%1:\%2,proxyport=3128
(replace 192.168.100.1 and 3128 with your own proxy ip/port)
Execute the following line to configure the proxy:
git config --global core.gitproxy gitproxy.cmd
Note that the proxy server must accept the CONNECT command for the git port (9418). I have added the following lines to the squid configuration to make this work:
acl SSL_ports port 9418 # git
acl Safe_ports port 9418 # git
(ie configure port 9418 the same way as port 443 in the proxy server)
As this was answered by many but this is just for a Windows USER who is behind a proxy with auth.
Re-Installing (first failed, don't remove).
Go to:
1. msysgit\installer-tmp\etc\gitconfig
Under [http]
proxy = http://user:pass@url:port
2. msysgit\installer-tmp\setup-msysgit.sh
export HTTP_PROXY="http://USER:[email protected]:8080"
if you have any special char in user/pass use url_encode
Option 2: Set environment variable
HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.com:8080
