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

This works for users on a domain and behind proxy with authentication and HTTPS inspection. Use the following where the %5c is used instead of "\". ie. DOMAIN%5cusername@proxy:port

Open GIT config in editor by entering below command:

git config --global -e     

Add/update following sections and save:

[http]
    proxy = http://domain%5cusername:password@proxy:port
    sslVerify = false
[https]
    proxy = http://domain%5cusername:password@proxy:port
    sslVerify = false
