Reset git proxy to default configuration
GitGit Problem Overview
I installed Socat to use the Git Protocol Through a HTTP CONNECT Proxy, then I create a script called gitproxy in your bin directory.
#!/bin/sh
# Use socat to proxy git through an HTTP CONNECT firewall.
# Useful if you are trying to clone git:// from inside a company.
# Requires that the proxy allows CONNECT to port 9418.
#
# Save this file as gitproxy somewhere in your path (e.g., ~/bin) and then run
# chmod +x gitproxy
# git config --global core.gitproxy gitproxy
#
# More details at https://www.emilsit.net/blog/archives/how-to-use-the-git-protocol-through-a-http-connect-proxy/
# Configuration. Common proxy ports are 3128, 8123, 8000.
_proxy=proxy.yourcompany.com
_proxyport=3128
exec socat STDIO PROXY:$_proxy:$1:$2,proxyport=$_proxyport
then I configured git to use it:
$ git config --global core.gitproxy gitproxy
Now I want to reset git to the default proxy configurations, how can I do that?
Git Solutions
Solution 1 - Git
For me, I had to add:
git config --global --unset http.proxy
Basically, you can run:
git config --global -l
to get the list of all proxy defined, and then use "--unset" to disable them
Solution 2 - Git
You can remove that configuration with:
git config --global --unset core.gitproxy
Solution 3 - Git
Edit .gitconfig file (Probably in your home directory of the user ~) and change the http and https proxy fields to space only
[http]
proxy =
[https]
proxy =
That worked for me in the windows.
Solution 4 - Git
On my Linux machine :
git config --system --get https.proxy (returns nothing)
git config --global --get https.proxy (returns nothing)
git config --system --get http.proxy (returns nothing)
git config --global --get http.proxy (returns nothing)
I found out my https_proxy and http_proxy are set, so I just unset them.
unset https_proxy
unset http_proxy
On my Windows machine :
set https_proxy=""
set http_proxy=""
Optionally use setx to set environment variables permanently on Windows and set system environment using "/m"
setx https_proxy=""
setx http_proxy=""
Solution 5 - Git
Remove both http and https setting by using commands.
git config --global --unset http.proxy
git config --global --unset https.proxy
Solution 6 - Git
git config --global --unset http.proxy
Solution 7 - Git
If you have used Powershell commands to set the Proxy on windows machine doing the below helped me.
To unset the proxy use:
-
Open powershell
-
Enter the following:
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable(“HTTP_PROXY”, $null, [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Machine) [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable(“HTTPS_PROXY”, $null, [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Machine)
To set the proxy again use:
-
Open powershell
-
Enter the following:
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable(“HTTP_PROXY”, “http://yourproxy.com:yourportnumber”, [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Machine) [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable(“HTTPS_PROXY”, “http://yourproxy.com:yourportnumber”, [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Machine)
Solution 8 - Git
If running
git config --global --unset http.proxy
gives a warning:
> http.proxy has multiple values
and none of the proxies are removed, then add "-all" in the command:
git config --global --unset-all http.proxy
to successfully remove all proxies.
You can check it with:
git config --global --list
