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.

Answer 1

I think that you should start from the HTTP error: HTTP 407 error explained. And from that you can arrive at the answer: proxy error issue. Hope that helps.
