Git: Could not resolve host github.com error while cloning remote repository in git
I got a similar error, and it's caused by incorrect proxy setting. This command saved me:
git config --global --unset http.proxy
https version:
git config --global --unset https.proxy
do i need to configure proxy settings? because my office has got proxy servers.
Yes, you can do so by setting HTTP_PROXY
, and HTTPS_PROXY
environment variables.
See "Syncing with github":
set HTTPS_PROXY=http://<login_internet>:<password_internet>@aproxy:aport
set HTTP_PROXY=http://<login_internet>:<password_internet>@aproxy:aport
set NO_PROXY=localhost,my.company
(To avoid putting your credentials -- username/password -- in clear in the proxy URL, see below)
Note the NO_PROXY
, to allow to access internal site to your company
You also can register that in your git config:
git config --global http.proxy http://<login_internet>:<password_internet>@aproxy:aport
But if you have incorrect proxy Git settings, remove them:
cd /path/to/repo
git config --unset http.proxy
git config --global --unset http.proxy
git config --system --unset http.proxy
git config --unset https.proxy
git config --global --unset https.proxy
git config --system --unset https.proxy
# double-check with:
git config -l --show-origin | grep -i proxy
No credentials needed: use genotrance/px
.
If you are, as I am, in a company behind a NTLM proxy, all you need to do is:
- unzip
px-v0.4.0.zip
anywhere you want - change the
px.ini
config file (put it in%USERPROFILE%
), chaging theserver
line:[proxy] server = proxy.my.company:8080 <= use your company proxy:port listen = 127.0.0.1 port = 3128
- use HTTP(S) proxy variable without your credentials! (the
px
proxy will reuse the ones from the current Widows session, either through Microsoft SSPI or Microsoft Kerberos)
That will give you:
set HTTPS_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:3128
set HTTP_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:3128
set NO_PROXY=localhost,my.company
Spent a couple hours trying to fix this.
Re-connecting my wifi did the trick.
