I installed Socat to use the Git Protocol Through a HTTP CONNECT Proxy, then I create a script called gitproxy in your bin directory.

#!/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 https://www.emilsit.net/blog/archives/how-to-use-the-git-protocol-through-a-http-connect-proxy/

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

exec socat STDIO PROXY:$_proxy:$1:$2,proxyport=$_proxyport

then I configured git to use it: 

$ git config --global core.gitproxy gitproxy

Now I want to reset git to the default proxy configurations, how can I do that?

For me, I had to add:

git config --global --unset http.proxy

Basically, you can run:

git config --global -l

to get the list of all proxy defined, and then use "--unset" to disable them

    and for https use git config --global --unset https.proxy – Abhishek Dhote Dec 23 '14 at 06:02

    One annoying thing with `--unset` is that it leaves the section heading, so you can end up with multiple empty `[http]` sections polluting your `.gitconfig`. Use `config --global --remove-section http` to remove the entire `[http]` section including the heading. – thdoan Nov 09 '16 at 14:19

You can remove that configuration with:

git config --global --unset core.gitproxy

Edit .gitconfig file (Probably in your home directory of the user ~) and change the http and https proxy fields to space only

[http]
    proxy = 
[https]
    proxy =

That worked for me in the windows.

On my Linux machine :

git config --system --get https.proxy (returns nothing)
git config --global --get https.proxy (returns nothing)

git config --system --get http.proxy (returns nothing)
git config --global --get http.proxy (returns nothing)

I found out my https_proxy and http_proxy are set, so I just unset them.

unset https_proxy
unset http_proxy

On my Windows machine :

set https_proxy=""
set http_proxy=""

Optionally use setx to set environment variables permanently on Windows and set system environment using "/m"

setx https_proxy=""
setx http_proxy=""

Remove both http and https setting by using commands.

git config --global --unset http.proxy

git config --global --unset https.proxy

    It appears this answer was provided by @sramij three years earlier. How is this answer different then sramij answer? Unfortunately, the only thing we can do at the moment is flag this answer as spam.

If you have used Powershell commands to set the Proxy on windows machine doing the below helped me.

To unset the proxy use: 1. Open powershell 2. Enter the following: 

[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable(“HTTP_PROXY”, $null, [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Machine)
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable(“HTTPS_PROXY”, $null, [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Machine)

To set the proxy again use: 1. Open powershell 2. Enter the following: 

[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable(“HTTP_PROXY”, “http://yourproxy.com:yourportnumber”, [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Machine)
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable(“HTTPS_PROXY”, “http://yourproxy.com:yourportnumber”, [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Machine)

If running

git config --global --unset http.proxy

gives a warning:

http.proxy has multiple values

and none of the proxies are removed, then add "-all" in the command:

git config --global --unset-all http.proxy

to successfully remove all proxies.

You can check it with:

git config --global --list
