Proxy

If your company requires that you use a proxy server for all Internet traffic, you must configure your Git client to point to that Proxy server. Go to your HOME/.gitconfig file, and add the following declaration of your Proxy server (with your own user name, password, URL and Port number):

[http]
proxy=http://user:password@PROXY_URL:PORT_NUMBER

If you use the following command to set your proxy server, make sure to use HTTP and not HTTPS

export https_proxy="http://ip_address:port"

For example

export https_proxy="http://123.124.125.126:8080"

If you use HTTPS in your URL, your clone attempts will fail.
