Using GIT under HTTP PROXY

If you want to use git command under http proxy, you can use this way:

1. Install socat
   

   $sudo apt-get install socat



2. Create configuration file which match with your proxy server address and port under /bin
   

   #!/bin/sh
   # Use socat to proxy git through an HTTP CONNECT firewall.
   # Useful if you are trying to clone git:// from inside a company.
   # Requires that the proxy allows CONNECT to port 9418.
   #
   # Save this file as gitproxy somewhere in your path (e.g., ~/bin) and then run
   # chmod +x gitproxy
   # git config --global core.gitproxy gitproxy
   #
   # More details at http://tinyurl.com/8xvpny
   
   # Configuration. Common proxy ports are 3128, 8123, 8000.
   _proxy=172.17.0.18
   _proxyport=8080
   
   exec socat STDIO PROXY:$_proxy:$1:$2,proxyport=$_proxyport



3. Now git command should work in your network under http proxy
   

   $git config --global core.gitproxy gitproxy
