How to access git repository through http proxy?

  1. Install socat. E.g., on SUSE: 
    zypper in socat
  2. Download this file: 
    #!/bin/sh
# Use socat to proxy git through an HTTP CONNECT firewall.
# Useful if you are trying to clone git:// from inside a company.
# Requires that the proxy allows CONNECT to port 9418.
#
# Save this file as gitproxy somewhere in your path (e.g., ~/bin) and then run
#   chmod +x gitproxy
#   git config --global core.gitproxy gitproxy
#
# More details at http://tinyurl.com/8xvpny

# Configuration. Common proxy ports are 3128, 8123, 8000.
_proxy=proxy.yourcompany.com
_proxyport=3128

exec socat STDIO PROXY:$_proxy:$1:$2,proxyport=$_proxyport
  3. Rename its name as gitproxy, and modify _proxy and _proxyport.
  4. Copy it into your PATH , e.g., /usr/bin.
  5. Switch to the directory which contains gitproxy, and execute the following commands: 
    # chmod +x gitproxy
# git config --global core.gitproxy gitproxy
  6. Now, git clone git://... will work!

 

Install git-email on RHEL 7.0

The RHEL 7.0 ISO doesn’t provide git-email rpm package by default. Because the git rpm provided by ISO file isgit-1.8.3.1-4.el7.x86_64.rpm, you should download the same version here, and install it:

[root@linux ~]# rpm -ivh git-email-1.8.3.1-4.el7.noarch.rpm
warning: git-email-1.8.3.1-4.el7.noarch.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID f4a80eb5: NOKEY
error: Failed dependencies:
        perl(Authen::SASL) is needed by git-email-1.8.3.1-4.el7.noarch
        perl(Net::SMTP::SSL) is needed by git-email-1.8.3.1-4.el7.noarch

From the error message, we know also need to use yum to install perl-Net-SMTP-SSL and perl-Authen-SASL packages:

[root@linux ~]#yum install perl-Net-SMTP-SSL
[root@linux ~]#yum install perl-Authen-SASL

Done!

 

How to install git on SUSE

On SUSE, when you want to install git, execute “zypper in git“:

nanxiao:~ # zypper in git

Resolving package dependencies...

Nothing to do.

You should use “zypper in git-core“:

nanxiao:~ # zypper in git-core
