Add proxy commands in git bash file

Assuming you have git bash installed

• Open c:\Users\[ME]\.bashrc

• Add following snippet

    function proxon(){
       # environment variables are UPPERCASE even in git bash
       export PROXY_SERVER=[MY_PROXY_SERVER]
       export PROXY_PORT=8080
       export PROXY_FLAG=false
       export HTTP_PROXY="http://$PROXY_SERVER:$PROXY_PORT"
       export HTTPS_PROXY=$HTTP_PROXY
       export FTP_PROXY=$HTTP_PROXY
       export SOCKS_PROXY=$HTTP_PROXY
  
       export NO_PROXY="localhost,127.0.0.1"
  
       # Update git config to use the proxy
       git config --global http.proxy $HTTP_PROXY
       git config --system http.sslVerify false
  
       env | grep -e _PROXY -e GIT_ | sort
       echo -e "\nProxy-related environment variables set."
  
       clear
    }
  
    # Disable proxy settings
    function proxoff(){
       variables=("HTTP_PROXY" "HTTPS_PROXY" "FTP_PROXY" "SOCKS_PROXY")
  
       for i in "${variables[@]}"
       do
    	  unset $i
       done
       git config --global --unset http.proxy
       export PROXY_FLAG=true
  
       env | grep -e _PROXY -e GIT_ | sort
       echo -e "\nProxy-related environment variables removed."
    }
  
    # Turn on proxy settings by default
    proxon
