I researched for this problem but didn't find anything helpful. What I don't understand is that the error keeps changing. I am trying to clone a repository using 

git clone http://git.osmocom.org/gr-osmosdr gr-osmosdr

and I get two different errors at different times:

  1. Complains too many open files. (error: unable to ope object pack directory. fatal: failed to read object XXXXXXX: too many open files)
  2. couldn't connect to proxy (couldn't connect proxy at mycompanyproxy (curl_result=7, http_code=0, sha1 = YYYYYYYY)

I did set the environment variable 

http_proxy="mycompanyproxy:1080"

and 

git config --global http.proxy mycompanyproxy:1080

I did verify values of the variables too.

Any help is appreciated.

  • assuming your company uses proxy authentication (I hope they do), you should change second line to `git config --global http.proxy http://DOMAIN\\username:password@mycompanyproxy:1080` – Cole9350 Feb 20 '14 at 20:45

Try setting only environment variable or git config settings.

you can see both approaches set in "Only use a proxy for certain git urls/domains?"

set http_proxy=http://username:password@proxydomain:port
set https_proxy=http://username:password@proxydomain:port

Make sure to not use quotes, and don't forget the no_proxy one:

set no_proxy=localhost,.my.company
