How to see application logs for git client

Question

I have setup a cntlm based proxy on my system. I've pointed git to use this proxy by adding following to my .gitconfig file.

[http]
       proxy = http://:@localhost:3128

However when I run git clone from commandline it shows me this error -

error: Failed connect to github.com:443; Connection timed out while accessing

I've tested the proxy with firefox and it works.

How do I find out more information about why git is failing? Where do I see the logs for git client.

You might use something like tcpdump or Wireshark to see what traffic is coming and going. — John Zwinck, Feb 11 '14 at 11:35
Are you actually cloning with an http url? That is, do you do `git clone http://github.com/...` ? — mockinterface, Feb 11 '14 at 12:28
@JimmyKane Curl gives me html. Which means that it is connectible. — Kshitiz Sharma, Feb 12 '14 at 04:45
What exactly does that `html` say? You might be getting an error page html. — Anshul Goyal, Apr 07 '14 at 08:52

You can try the syntax without ':', and set it for http and https, as illustrated in "How to point Git to use cntlm"

git config --global https.proxy http://localhost:3128
git config --global http.proxy http://localhost:3128

You can also run cntlm.exe -v to see what is going on.
As well as setting GIT_TRACE=2 before doing the git clone.

I tried `export GIT_TRACE=2` and it shows trace level log messages. See this question [here](http://stackoverflow.com/q/15440291/1345655). – Kshitiz Sharma Apr 09 '14 at 07:32
