git:// through proxy

I'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't switch to https for the checkout.

So I'm wondering if it's possible to redirect all traffic to port 9418 through a proxy and if so how :)

Solution

  • Have a look at core.gitproxy setting in Git config.

    Quick googling revealed this script that may be useful (or may not — I did not try it): https://gist.github.com/49288
