Use git over socks5 proxy

config-git-proxy.txt

Port: 1080

1. Create a file /YOUR PATH/gitproxy.sh with content:

#!/bin/sh 
nc -X 5 -x 127.0.0.1:1080 "$@"

2. Edit your ~/.gitconfig

# For git://
[core]
    gitproxy=/YOUR PATH/gitproxy.sh

# For http(s)://
[http]
    proxy=socks5://127.0.0.1:1080
[https]
    proxy=socks5://127.0.0.1:1080

3. Edit your /etc/ssh/ssh_config to change global setting (or ~/.ssh/config for special host)

# For ssh://
ProxyCommand nc -X 5 -x 127.0.0.1:1080 %h %p

I googled this post and want to add my 2 cents.

For Linux users

ProxyChains is also good solution. You may modify its configuration file and add your SOCKS server.

Then, simply type proxychains -q git clone git@xxx and the traffic goes through your proxy.

For Windows users

You may consider to use NMAP instead of NetCat, since you can barely find a trustful nc binary for Windows.

For Windows MSYS2 users

1. Install socat package.
2. Use the following proxy command ProxyCommand socat - PROXY:127.0.0.1:%h:%p,proxyport=1070

Here's a short way to do this:

export GIT_SSH_COMMAND='ssh -o ProxyCommand="nc -X 5 -x 127.0.0.1:1080 %h %p"'
git ...

I ended up with adding SSH proxy command in ~/.ssh/config.

I found it rather convenient since it works for both Linux and Windows:

Host github.com
  ProxyCommand connect -H 127.0.0.1:1070 %h %p

You just need Privoxy that transforms a SOCKS proxy into HTTP proxy. I made it listen on port 1070.

It will always use the 1070 HTTP proxy to establish SSH connection.

Yes, once for all.

My config over socks5 proxy:

Host github.com
	HostName github.com
	User git
	IdentityFile ~/.ssh/github-ssh.key
	ProxyCommand /usr/bin/nc -X 5 -x 127.0.0.1:6153 %h %p

Nice!

It works!

sorry to ask question here. But, what's the point of setting ssh config with proxycommand when you already create a proxy with nc?

When you use nc or connect command, a tunnel is established to proxy the network traffic. But without setting ProxyCommand, SSH is not aware of this tunnel. You have to explicitly tell it to use this tunnel for data transmission.
