Can not download vcpkg by git

When I use git to download the vcpkg, it said Unsupported proxy syntax in':'

I use following command on powershell:

git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg.git

and it returns:

fatal:unable to access 'https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg.git': Unsupported proxy syntax in '<host>:<port>'

My laptop should not have any proxy setting, as well as the git. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you!

Solution

  • You have environment variables HTTPS_PROXY='<host>:<port>' and HTTP_PROXY='<host>:<port>'. If you do not have proxy unset them in the current terminal:

    unset HTTP_PROXY HTTPS_PROXY

    and remove from the shell config file(s). Search them in ~/.profile, ~/.bash_profile and ~/.bashrc.
