how to clone from github behindd a proxy?

[Tim Michelsen]

Hello,
I tried to clone from behind a proxy firewall.

It doesn't work.

How shall I improve?

set GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1

git config --global http.proxy proxy.example.com:8000

git clone http://github.com/rwl/traitsbackendpyjamas
Initialized empty Git repository in D:\sourcecode/traitsbackendpyjamas/.git/
* Couldn't find host github.com in the _netrc file; using defaults
* About to connect() to proxy proxy.example.com on port 8000 (#0)
*   Trying 149.233.100.7... * Connected to proxy.example.com (149.233.100.7)
port 8000 (#0)

fatal: http://github.com/rwl/traitsbackendpyjamas/info/refs not found: did you
run git update-server-info on the server?

Thanks in advance,

this isn't a problem with your proxy - git connects to your proxy fine.

The problem is that the info/refs file isn't found at the repo URL you
specified.

I think for github repos, you need to put a ".git" behind the url, so
you should try cloning from

  http://github.com/rwl/traitsbackendpyjamas.git

instead.
