How to use git over proxy server?

git-with-proxy-config.md

📘 Overview

There are many ways to use git with a proxy server, but for now I'll only explain how to use it using http/https and ssh protocols.
Let's see how to use git with a proxy!

⚙️ Configurations

🛡️ SSH

Basically it works with any other proxy tool, just adjust proxycommand attribute according to proxy tool you are using with.
In this case, I'm gonna using socat.

socat stands for SOcket CAT, it's a utility for data transfer between two addresses.

• Install socat using your Distro's package manager.

• Create or add the following line into ~/.ssh/config:

  host github.com
    hostname ssh.github.com
    port 443
    user git
    proxycommand socat - PROXY:<host>:%h:%p, proxyport=<port>

• Replace <host> and <port> with your proxy settings.

• If your proxy need authentication, add proxyauth=<username>:<password> after proxyport. Separated by comma ,.

  proxycommand socat - PROXY:<host>:%h:%p, proxyport=<port>, proxyauth=<username>:<password>
  

  🚀 Test Out

  git clone [email protected]:username/repo.git
  

🔐 HTTP / 🔒 HTTPS

• Add the following line into ~/.gitconfig:

  [http]
  [http "https://github.com"]
    proxy = http://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>
    sslVerify = false
  

• Replace <username>, <password>, <host> and <port> according to your proxy settings.

• If your proxy doesn't need authentication, just remove the <username> and <password>.

  proxy = http://<hostname>:<port>

  🚀 Test Out

  git clone https://github.com/username/repo.git
