Why we need to setup proxy for git

For those machine behind the firewall

Two ways to setup the proxy

Setup the proxy for http protocol

• Add a single proxy for all git config --global http.proxy http://proxyUsername:proxyPassword@proxy.server.com:port

• Add proxy for different hosts

git config --global http.https://domain.com.proxy http://proxyUsername:proxyPassword@proxy.server.com:port
git config --global http.https://domain.com.sslVerify false

• Check https://gist.github.com/evantoli/f8c23a37eb3558ab8765 for more details.
• Only works for git clone https://xxxxx

Setup the proxy for git protocol

• Windows only
  • vim ~/.ssh/config
  • Update the content as following, -S means sock proxy. Http proxy not work at the moment

    # Global setting
    # ProxyCommand connect -S 127.0.0.1:6600 %h %p
    # For specific host
      Host github.com
        ProxyCommand connect -S 127.0.0.1:6600 %h %p
  

  • Refer https://blog.csdn.net/w8y56f/article/details/102565809 for more details.
  • Use ssh tunnel to setup the sock proxy
• For mac, refer https://serverfault.com/questions/315605/ssh-through-a-socks-proxy-client-openssh-os-x
  • update ~/.ssh/config
  • “5” is the SOCKS version, “1080” is the proxy port, “%h” SSH replaces with the host you typed on the command line, and “%p” SSH replaces with the port from the command line (or the default 22).

  Host 10.*
    ProxyCommand nc -X 5 -x PROXY_HOST:1080 %h %p
