Using git behind a HTTP or socks5 proxy.

---

If you are using git behind a HTTP or socks5 proxy, you may need to pass the proxy configuration parameter to the git command. This allows you to clone, push, or execute any other git command behind a proxy without any issue.

To push, clone, or execute any git command while using a HTTP or socks5 proxy, you pass a configuration parameter to git command using the -c flag.

The -c flag parameter takes the form: -c <name>=<value>. Example using HTTP proxy:

You can execute the following command if you are using socks5 proxy. The h in socks5h means that the host name will be resolved using the proxy.

└─$ git -c http.proxy=socks5h://10.186.159.27:8000 push

If your proxy requires username and password authentication, all you need is to add them after the protocol, example:
