Git can't clone repo

Question

I am trying to clone some repo from GitHub, but I am getting error like:

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/some/thing.git/': Received HTTP code 403 from proxy after CONNECT

I am behind corporate proxy, but I set it already in .gitconfig.

This is inside my .gitconfig:

[http]
    proxy = http://something.com:80

[https]
    proxy = http://something.com:80

Do you have any idea?

I don't think https can be proxied to port 80. Try `proxy = https://something.com:443` instead? — evolutionxbox, May 08 '19 at 09:13

Does your proxy needs credentials? if yes, add your credentials in proxy URL. You can try using running this command in cmd.

This command is going to update your .gitconfig file as below.

[http]
proxy = http://username:password@host:port

[https]
proxy = http://username:password@host:port
