If you are talking about git submodules, try this:

    git config --global url.https://github.com/.insteadOf git://github.com/

...taken from [here](http://www.itk.org/Wiki/Git/Trouble#Firewall_Blocks_Port_9418).

This way, you don&#39;t need to set any proxy, nor run any script.

Have a look at `core.gitproxy` setting in [Git config][1].

Quick googling revealed this script that may be useful (or may not — I did not try it): https://gist.github.com/49288


  [1]: http://git-scm.com/docs/git-config

Have you tried an ssh-based TCP tunnel?  If you have an ssh server that (a) is outside your firewall and (b) allows IP forwarding, you can do:

    ssh -L localhost:9418:&lt;remote&gt;:9418 me@remote-ssh-server

or, if you have to run sshd on port 443 to get around your firewall,

    ssh -P 443 -L localhost:9418:&lt;remote-host&gt;:9418 me@remote-ssh-server

Then, locally:

    git checkout git://localhost/...

Obviously this isn&#39;t transparent, and it&#39;s a little convoluted - there are no doubt tools out there that are more specifically targetted at the problem.  However, I typically use this method because it uses tools I have to hand (ssh and a cheapo virtual server I rent).

(I&#39;ve actually never tried this with a git connection, but I see no reason why it wouldn&#39;t work.  I&#39;ve used it with many other single-TCP-port protocols without problem.)

You need to make `core.gitProxy` point to a proxy command that will connect git to the remote server through your SOCKS proxy. You can create a script with the following content to serve as a proxy command:

    nc -x &lt;your_proxy_host&gt;:&lt;your_proxy_port&gt; $1 $2

The two parameters, representing the remote host and port, will be passed to the proxy command by git. If you name this script `git-proxy` and make it accessible from your `$PATH`, you can call `git config` to set it:

    git config --global --add core.gitProxy git-proxy



I would like some help with getting the size of an array inside an object: 

    var st = { &quot;itema&quot;:{...},&quot;itemb&quot;:[{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;s01&quot;,&quot;cd&quot;:&quot;c01&quot;,&quot;dd&quot;:&quot;d01&quot;,....}{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;s02&quot;,&quot;cd&quot;:&quot;c02&quot;,&quot;dd&quot;:&quot;d02&quot;,....}]}

How would you get a count of the objects inside `&quot;itemb&quot;` (in this case 2)?

I&#39;m having difficulty finding a clear-cut, practical explanation for what is the correct way to leverage browser caching to increase page speed.  

According to [this site][1]:

&gt; It is important to specify one of Expires or Cache-Control max-age,
&gt; and one of Last-Modified or ETag, for all cacheable resources. It is
&gt; redundant to specify both Expires and Cache-Control: max-age, or to
&gt; specify both Last-Modified and ETag.

Is this correct? If so, should I use `Expires` or `max-age`? I think I have a general understanding of what both of those are but don&#39;t know which is usually best to use. 

If I have to also do `Last-Modified` or `ETag`, which one of those? I think I get `Last-Modified` but am still very fuzzy on this `ETag` concept. 

Also, which files should I enable browser caching for?

I&#39;m behind a firewall that is blocking port 9418 (git) and am trying to install some tools that are explicitly doing a checkout of `git://github.com/...`, so I can&#39;t switch to https for the checkout.

So I&#39;m wondering if it&#39;s possible to redirect all traffic to port 9418 through a proxy and if so how :)

I&#39;m using Git 1.7.4.1 on Mac 10.6.6.  From the command line, how do I commit changes in only a single directory?  I added the directory by doing:

    git add my-dir

but doing

    git commit -a

brings up a list of all changes in my repo, and I only want to commit and push changes from `my-dir`.

So I want to [compare this folder][1] `http://cloudobserver.googlecode.com/svn/branches/v0.4/Boost.Extension.Tutorial/libs/boost/extension/` with [this][2] `http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/boost/extension/`. I want to get a diff file as a result. These folders are under svn control but I&#39;d prefer git styled diff file (like one [shown here][3]) I tried `git diff` but it seems not to work that way for web folders. So how to do the same thing with one command on Linux?

***Update:***
So we had [a great answer][4]. But it works strangely - it seems to me it shows that all files (same files) have all theire contents replaced with very same contents (while I know for sure that there were only like 3-4 code lines changed at all)...

***Update 2:***
To achieve what I really needed (dif file with only really changed lines, with git styling, on Linux) do:

    $ svn export http://cloudobserver.googlecode.com/svn/branches/v0.4/Boost.Extension.Tutorial/libs/boost/extension/ repos2 --native-eol CRLF
    $ svn export http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/boost/extension/ repos --native-eol CRLF
    $ git diff repos repos2 &gt; fileWithReadableDiff.diff

How can I configure `git commit` to act as `git commit -v` (showing the full diff being committed) by default?

Using an alias is not quite satisfactory, as it does not affect commit message editing during operations which may indirectly commit, such as `git rebase`. 

`git commit -v` by default

I&#39;ve got a project hosted on GitHub which somebody has forked. On their fork, they&#39;ve created a new branch &quot;foo&quot; and made some changes.  How do I pull their &quot;foo&quot; into a new branch also named &quot;foo&quot; in my repo?

I understand they could submit a pull request to me, but I&#39;d like to initiate this process myself.

Assume the following:

 1. Because they forked my project, both our repos share the same &#39;history&#39;
 2. Although GitHub shows their project was forked from mine, my local repository doesn&#39;t have any references to this person&#39;s project. Do I need to add theirs as a remote?
 3. I don&#39;t have a branch called &quot;foo&quot; yet - I don&#39;t know if I need to manually create this first.
 4. I definitely want this pulled into a separate branch and not my master.

I need web access from Gradle through a proxy server to use the Gradle/Artifactory integration for Jenkins. To reduce possible causes for issues, I manually add the Artifactory plugin in build.gradle and run it from command line:

    apply {
        apply from: &quot;http://gradle.artifactoryonline.com/gradle/plugins/org/jfrog/buildinfo/build-info-extractor-gradle/1.0.1/artifactoryplugin-1.0.1.gradle&quot;
    }

Following [this](http://gradle.org/releases/0.8/docs/userguide/tutorial_this_and_that.html#sec:accessing_the_web_via_a_proxy) description I specified the following in .gradle/gradle.properties in my home directory:

    systemProp.http.proxyHost=hostname
    systemProp.http.proxyPort=8080
    systemProp.http.proxyUser=de\\username
    systemProp.http.proxyPassword=xxx

With the above proxy configuration (that is otherwise known to work), it fails:

&gt; 11:33:17.699 [ERROR] [org.gradle.BuildExceptionReporter] Caused by: java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 407 for URL: http://gradle.artifactoryonline.com/gradle/plugins/org/jfrog/buildinfo/build-info-extractor-gradle/1.0.1/artifactoryplugin-1.0.1.gradle

I have two proxy servers to choose from, and one always responds with `407` (*Proxy authentication required*), the other with `502` (*Bad gateway*), so obviously, the proxyHost and proxyPort options are used.

As the user name (based on an Active Directory user) contains a backslash, I tried both `\\` and `\`, but neither worked. The user specified is different from the user that is logged in to the machine and Active Directory. This user&#39;s credentials aren&#39;t valid for the proxy, so I need to be able to specify a different user.

Setting the same options in Jenkins&#39; or Artifactory&#39;s GUI worked.

My aim is to run Node.js on port 80. This is because I am finding node.js is being blocked from certain networks which do not allow traffic from any other port.

It appears that the best way to do this is by proxying Apache through Node.js. I have tried using [node-http-proxy][1] to do this but I have not had any luck. 

The code I am using is here:

    var util = require(&#39;util&#39;),
        http = require(&#39;http&#39;),
        httpProxy = require(&#39;http-proxy&#39;);
  
    httpProxy.createServer(9000, &#39;localhost&#39;).listen(80);
    
    http.createServer(function (req, res) {
      res.writeHead(200, { &#39;Content-Type&#39;: &#39;text/plain&#39; });
      res.write(&#39;request successfully proxied to: &#39; + req.url + &#39;\n&#39; + JSON.stringify(req.headers, true, 2));
      res.end();
    }).listen(9000);

But I keep getting the error &quot;Address in use&quot; for port 80. I must be doing something wrong.

How do I proxy Apache through node.js using node-http-proxy? Will this enable me to run node.js on port 80? And is node-http-proxy the best way to achieve this?


Thank you.

I want to proxy requests made to my Flask app to another web service running locally on the machine.  I&#39;d rather use Flask for this than our higher-level nginx instance so that we can reuse our existing authentication system built into our app.  The more we can keep this &quot;single sign on&quot; the better.

Is there an existing module or other code to do this?  Trying to bridge the Flask app through to something like httplib or urllib is proving to be a pain.

Proxying to another web service with Flask

I searched the web for something about http-proxy.
I read wiki-articles about proxy server.
But I still don&#39;t understand how http proxy works, stupid me.

Here is my assumption about how http proxy works:
If I set the http-proxy to a specific one, say Proxy_A, then when I start up the chrome/IE, type in a specific URL, say URL_A, does the chrome/IE send the request directly to Proxy_A, 
then the Proxy_A sends the request to the real server of URL_A?

how does http proxy work?

I understand that a header `HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR` is set by proxy servers to identify the ip-address of the host that is making the HTTP request through the proxy. I&#39;ve heard claims that the header `HTTP_CLIENT_IP` is set for similar purposes.

1. What is the difference between `HTTP_CLIENT_IP` and `HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR`?
2. Why would one have different values than the other?
3. Where can I find resources on the exact definition of these headers.

I use my personal laptop for both work and personal projects and I would like to use my work email address for my commits at work (gitolite) and my personal email address for the rest (github).

I read about the following solutions which are all either global or temporary:

 - `git config --global user.email &quot;bob@example.com&quot;`
 - `git config user.email &quot;bob@example.com&quot;`
 - `git commit --author &quot;Bob &lt;bob@example.com&gt;&quot;`
 - setting one of the `GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL`, `GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL` or `EMAIL` environment variables

One solution is to run manually a shell function that sets my environment to *work* or *personal*, but I am pretty sure that I will often forget to switch to the correct identity resulting in committing under the wrong identity.

Is there a way of binding a certain repository, project name, etc. to an identity (name, email)? What do people do?

With Git, when using the `autocrlf = true` flag, a warning is still given when line-endings are changed.

I understand what the warning is for, and how to turn off the line-ending flag, but how do I turn off the warning itself?

Can I pass arguments to the alias of a Git command?

I have some alias in Git config, like so:

    rb1 = rebase -i HEAD~1
    rb2 = rebase -i HEAD~2
    rb3 = rebase -i HEAD~3
    rb4 = rebase -i HEAD~4
    ....

Is it possible to make an `rb` alias so that `git rb &lt;x&gt;` works for any `&lt;x&gt;`?

I tried this alias:

    rb = rebase -i HEAD~

but then for instance `git rb 8` does not work.

Pass an argument to a Git alias command

I could probably setup an alias, but it seems like I should be able to set this as an option in the config file, only I don&#39;t see anyway to do it.

I only want the `--ignore-space-change` when I&#39;m doing diff, not when I&#39;m doing apply or anything else.  I&#39;m trying to make the diff easier to understand by not cluttering it with with extraneous +/- lines that have no real changes on them.

How to make git diff --ignore-space-change the default

I use two different git emails, one for work and one for public projects. Initially I thought that I could create a separate .gitconfig with a different email in a folder where all my public repos are in, and that git would respect that, but alas it seems that doesn&#39;t work. What&#39;s the best way to easily setup something similar? I want to avoid having to specifically change the email in each public repo.
