JGit proxy configuration in code

Question

I am able to clone repo using clone command in JGit

Repo is http and of course it's failing to clone when I am behind proxy

Could you help me with code sample how to configure JGit with proxy in java

thanks!

JGit uses the standard ProxySelector mechanism for the Http connection. As of Today, the field org.eclipse.jgit.transport.TransportHttp.proxySelector used by the framework, is not overridable. It is configurable, though, customizing the JVM default proxy selector as in:

ProxySelector.setDefault(new ProxySelector() {
    final ProxySelector delegate = ProxySelector.getDefault();

    @Override
    public List<Proxy> select(URI uri) {
            // Filter the URIs to be proxied
        if (uri.toString().contains("github")
                && uri.toString().contains("https")) {
            return Arrays.asList(new Proxy(Type.HTTP, InetSocketAddress
                    .createUnresolved("localhost", 3128)));
        }
        if (uri.toString().contains("github")
                && uri.toString().contains("http")) {
            return Arrays.asList(new Proxy(Type.HTTP, InetSocketAddress
                    .createUnresolved("localhost", 3129)));
        }
            // revert to the default behaviour
        return delegate == null ? Arrays.asList(Proxy.NO_PROXY)
                : delegate.select(uri);
    }

    @Override
    public void connectFailed(URI uri, SocketAddress sa, IOException ioe) {
        if (uri == null || sa == null || ioe == null) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException(
                    "Arguments can't be null.");
        }
    }
});
