I have this issue (which is already discussed in many threads here) but still can't find a way to the solution in my case, https://www.github.com opens normally, but when I try to clone a project from Github using https, I get this error :

enter image description here

I work in a company where I'm connected via proxy (which is detected automatically), I was told I should add that to the .gitconfig file, I tried that in both ways (git config --global ...) or manually by writing to the file so, I added the proxy for https in the .gitconfig file :

[https] proxy = https://172.16.0.254:8080

But I still have the same problem, what should I do to make this work, I appreciate the help.

PS : Pinging the website gives me :

  • Are you sure your proxy is accessed through https? It is usually accessed through http only: `http://172.16.0.254:8080` – VonC Nov 18 '14 at 11:59
  • @VonC : Infrastructure people here are terrible, I explained to them your comment, but they said that this proxy accept both, (and I'm personally not into networking so I can't really ... is there something else I can do ? – AymenDaoudi Nov 18 '14 at 13:32
  • If it accepts both, did you try `git config https.proxy = http://172.16.0.254:8080`? – VonC Nov 18 '14 at 14:05
  • I have done this : git config --global https.proxy https://172.16.0.254:8080 and it didn't work, but I'll try yours too, and I'll tell – AymenDaoudi Nov 18 '14 at 14:41
  • Using an `http://172.16.0.254:8080` avoid having to use (internal company) certificates. That is why a proxy is always accessed through http. Even for defining https.proxy. – VonC Nov 18 '14 at 14:42
  • @VonC : I tried it, still get the same error. – AymenDaoudi Nov 18 '14 at 14:53
  • Then forget about the git config, and try (still with `http://`) with environment variables: http://stackoverflow.com/a/19524910/6309 – VonC Nov 18 '14 at 14:56
