Re: Using socks proxy with git for http(s) transport

Try:

  git config --global http.proxy 'socks://yourhost:port'

That will enable it for all git repositories on your machine. Git should
also respect any environment variables that curl handles (because we use
libcurl under the hood), if you prefer to set it up that way. See "man
curl" for details.

Thanks Jeff but it's not working.
I use git 1.8.15
My socks proxy listen on my localhost at port 1080 so I do:
git config --global http.proxy  'socks://127.0.0.1:1080'

But when i try to talk with a git server with http protocol i have:

GIT_TRACE=1 GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 git ls-remote
http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git

trace: built-in: git 'ls-remote' 'http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git'

As you can see git connect to my socks proxy (Connected to 127.0.0.1
(127.0.0.1) port 1080) but seems to send the http request directly
instead of a socks command. So it does'nt work :(
