[git] Git: How to remove proxy

I am trying to push to my repo but receiving an error:

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/myrepo.git/': Could not resolve proxy: --list        

I already changed the proxy settings :

git config --global --unset http.proxy  

my global config settings are:

push.default=simple
http.sslverify=false
url.https://.insteadof=git://
credential.helper=cache --timeout=3600

But still getting this error? How can I solve this?

This question is related to git github

The answer is


git config --global --unset http.proxy
git config --unset http.proxy
http_proxy=""

You can list all the global settings using

git config --global --list

My proxy settings were set as

...
remote.origin.proxy=
remote.origin.proxy=address:port
...

The command git config --global --unset remote.origin.proxy did not work.

So I found the global .gitconfig file it was in, using this

git config --list --show-origin

And manually removed the proxy fields.


Check if you have environment variable that could still define a proxy (picked up by curl, even if the git config does not include any proxy setting anymore):

HTTP_PROXY
HTTPS_PROXY

If you already unset the proxy from global and local level and still see the proxy details while you do

         git config -l

then unset the variable from system level, generally the configuration stored at below location

 C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64/etc/gitconfig

Did you already check your proxys here?

git config --global --list

or

git config --local --list

You config proxy settings for some network and now you connect another network. Now have to remove the proxy settings. For that use these commands:

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

Now you can push too. (If did not remove proxy configuration still you can use git commands like add , commit and etc)


Some times, local config command won't show the proxy but it wont allow git push due to proxy. Run the following commands within the directory and see.

#git config --local --list

But the following commands displays the proxy set to local repository:

#git config http.proxy
#git config https.proxy

If the above command displays any proxy then clear it by running the following commands:

#git config https.proxy ""
#git config https.proxy ""

This is in the case if first answer does not work The latest version of git does not require to set proxy it directly uses system proxy settings .so just do these

unset HTTP_PROXY
unset HTTPS_PROXY

in some systems you may also have to do

unset http_proxy
unset https_proxy

if you want to permanantly remove proxy then

sudo gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy mode 'none'
