Git through a Proxy. What is causing the 407 error when cloning?

Question

I\'m trying to use Git through a proxy. I\'ve tried setting parameters \'git config --global\' in a lot of ways but always without success when cloning repositories.

If you're already behind a proxy and getting this error, you will have to clear http.proxy and https.proxy: git config --global --unset http.proxy git config --global --unset https.proxy
