Github for Windows through proxies

If you're using Github for windows in a corporate environment, there may be chances that your company will be implementing corporate firewalls/proxy. I've checked the Github for Windows application and you won't find any proxy setting implementation there. Lucky for you, there is a way to do it.

To configure your Github:

• Close your Github
• Open .gitconfig file typically found at

  C:\Users\<username>\.gitconfig

  or

  C:\Documents & Settings\<username>\.gitconfig

• Edit .gitconfig file, just add the following lines. Take note to use your own proxy settings!

proxy = http://proxy.yourcompany.com:8080

proxy = http://proxy.yourcompany.com:8080
