Using git behind proxy on windows

In this post we will see yet another proxy configuration.

You can make git proxy configurations using git config http.proxy command but as you know, this command requires password and it’s stored without encryption in .gitconfig file and we don’t want this.

Using following list of commands we can configure git to use the standard windows Credential Manager to store credentials.

git config --global http.proxy http://user@proxy.corporate.com:8080
git config --global https.proxy http://user@proxy.corporate.com:8080
git config http.sslVerify false
git config https.sslVerify false
git config --global credential.helper wincred</code></pre>
