Getting Git to work with a proxy server - fails with Request timed out

Question

How do I get Git to use a proxy server   I need to check out code from a Git server  but it shows  Request timed out  every time  How do I get around this    Alternatively  how can I set a proxy server

As an alternative to using git config --global http proxy address port  you can set the proxy on the command line   git -c  http proxy address port  clone https         The advantage is the proxy is not persistently set   Under Bash you might set an alias   alias git-proxy  git -c  http proxy address port

I have tried all the above answers and nothing worked for me  as there was a proxy password encoding issues   This command worked   git config --global http proxy http   username proxy example com PortNumber    Do not enter the password in your command  It will dynamically ask for when you try to connect to any git repo

For windows users  if git config or set http proxy  doesn t work  this answer may help   replace the git    protocol of the git repository with http     Note  you ll have to set the http proxy first  anyways

For the git protocol  git         install socat and write a script such as      bin sh  exec socat - socks4 your company com  1  2   make it executable  put it in your path  and in your    gitconfig set core gitproxy to the name of that script

After tirelessly trying every solution on this page  my work around was to use and SSH key instead     Open Git Bash   ssh-keygen exe -t rsa -C  Open your Git provider  Github  Bitbucket  etc   Add copy the id rsa pub file contents into Git provider s input page  check your profile

In addition of thse answers  I found helpful to consider these 2 points   One may need to enforce an authentication scheme    http        https   github com git git blob master Documentation config txt     proxyAuthMethod   anyauth basic digest negotiate ntlm   Also  typically with NTLM authentication schema  one may need to provide explicitely the AD domain   In git bash   echo  userdomain    And update the http proxy accordingly   git config --global http proxy http   DOMAIN  proxyuser proxypwd proxy server com 8080   Anyway  investigation may be helped by adding CURL logs   export GIT CURL VERBOSE 1

Setting git proxy on terminal  if    you do not want set proxy for each of your git projects manually  one by one always want to use same proxy for all your projects   Set it globally once  git config --global http proxy username password proxy url proxy port git config --global https proxy username password proxy url proxy port   if you want to set proxy for only one git project  there may be some situations where you may not want to use same proxy or any proxy at all for some git connections     go to project root cd  bla bla project root   set proxy for both http and https git config http proxy username password proxy url proxy port git config https proxy username password proxy url proxy port   if you want to display current proxy settings  git config --list    if you want to remove proxy globally  git config --global --unset http proxy git config --global --unset https proxy   if you want to remove proxy for only one git root    go to project root cd  bla-bla project root git config --unset http proxy git config --unset https proxy

an alternative to using a proxy is to use SSH In the git configs  configure the origin remote on the ssh address Then use the ssh-keygen command  which gives you a public key that you can set in your GitLab or Gitab account settings and login accordingly done    1-verify which remotes are using by running git remote -v in your Git client  2-if this is http s  url  changed it to ssh address   run  git remote set-url  lt remote name  e g  origin gt   lt new SSH URL gt  3-to generate ssh key for login  run   ssh-keygen -o  this command generate public id rsa pub file  and private keys  4-copy public key contents   from id rsa pub file  5-go to gitlab githup      in profile in setting   create new ssh key and paste public key contents

If you have tsocks or proxychains installed and configured  you can    tsocks git clone  lt you repository gt    or    proxychains git clone  lt you repository gt    to make it shorter  I created a symbol link  usr bin p for proxychains  so I can use it like this  p git clone  lt you repository gt    and I can use it to proxy any command   p  lt cmd-need-be-proxied gt    by the way  proxychains is not updated for a long time  you may wanna try proxychians-ng

Set a system variable named http proxy with the value of ProxyServer Port  That is the simplest solution  Respectively  use https proxy as daefu pointed out in the comments   Setting gitproxy  as sleske mentions  is another option  but that requires a  command   which is not as straightforward as the above solution   References  http   bardofschool blogspot com 2008 11 use-git-behind-proxy html

If the command line way of configuring your proxy server doesn t work  you can probably just edit  gitconfig  in the root of your profile  which may hide both in C  Documents and Settings and on some network drive  and add this    http      proxy   http   username password proxy at your org 8080   YMMV though  this only covers the first step of the command line configuration  You may have to edit the system git configuration too and I have no idea where they hid that
