Using a socks proxy with git for the http transport

by

I tested with Git 1.8.2 and SOCKS v5 proxy, following setting works for me:

git config --global http.proxy 'socks5://127.0.0.1:7070'

UPDATE 2017-3-31:

According to the document, despite the name http.proxy, it should work for both HTTP and HTTPS repository urls. Thanks @user for pointing out this.

UPDATE 2018-11-27:

To disable the proxy, run command:

git config --global --unset http.proxy

EDIT 2019-03-04:

If you also want the host name to be resolved using the proxy, use thuzhf’s solution below, which uses socks5h instead of socks5
