Make git go through proxy

Question

I’m setting up my work environment here at the service.

It is windows 7 and has a proxy with user and password.

I want to download a project from my repository on Github and need to go through the proxy.

I’m doing everything for prompt and I arrived at the following command after searching through the net:

git config --global http.proxy http://username:senh@[email protected]:3128

Where senh@nov4 is an example of my password.

the problem is that my password has @ and cannot switch to a password without special characters.

I did several tests with some escape characters and quotation marks but I could not solve this question of @.

Answer 1

Exchange the @ of your password by Percent-encoding his: %40, example:

git config --global http.proxy http://username:senh%40nov%[email protected]:3128
