What I did: I have created a remote repository on Github and I am trying to clone the remote repository on my local machine. While cloning I am providing the clone URL & target folder.
But every time I try to clone, I am getting this error:
Error: "fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/hyperion057/spring-repo.git/': Could not resolve host: github.com"
What do I need to do to connect to GitHub ?
do i need to configure proxy settings? because my office has got proxy servers.
Yes, you can do so by setting HTTP_PROXY
, and HTTPS_PROXY
environment variables.
See "Syncing with github":
set HTTPS_PROXY=http://<login_internet>:<password_internet>@aproxy:aport
set HTTP_PROXY=http://<login_internet>:<password_internet>@aproxy:aport
set NO_PROXY=localhost,my.company
(To avoid putting your credentials -- username/password -- in clear in the proxy URL, see below)
Note the NO_PROXY
, to allow to access internal site to your company
You also can register that in your git config:
git config --global http.proxy http://<login_internet>:<password_internet>@aproxy:aport
But if you have incorrect proxy Git settings, remove them:
cd /path/to/repo
git config --unset http.proxy
git config --global --unset http.proxy
git config --system --unset http.proxy
git config --unset https.proxy
git config --global --unset https.proxy
git config --system --unset https.proxy
# double-check with:
git config -l --show-origin | grep -i proxy
No credentials needed: use genotrance/px
.
If you are, as I am, in a company behind a NTLM proxy, all you need to do is:
px-v0.4.0.zip
anywhere you wantpx.ini
config file (put it in %USERPROFILE%
), chaging the server
line:
[proxy]
server = proxy.my.company:8080 <= use your company proxy:port
listen = 127.0.0.1
port = 3128
px
proxy will reuse the ones from the current Widows session, either through Microsoft SSPI or Microsoft Kerberos)That will give you:
set HTTPS_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:3128
set HTTP_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:3128
set NO_PROXY=localhost,my.company
